    “People hated living under communism just ask them”

    Actually you’ll find most people preferred living under communism

    “They’re just blinded by nostalgia”

    So you can’t just ask people about what it was like under communism?

    “No you can, if you did you’d find they all hated it”

      “I like to say I love communism without under duress.”

      “I love communism not because I am a card-carrying party member.”

      “The fact that more people fled from communist countries than coming in means those people are crazy.”

          I mean, sure, those who clawed their way out of the Berlin Wall, vault poled over electric fences in the DMZ, defected with a top secret Soviet plane as insurance to be allowed to stay in the West, and swam the Caribbean to desperately leave communist countries surely love communism.

              I do. You are talking about how communism is so great, that I am vindicating you how Westerners were desperately risking their lives to get to communist countries.
