Thank you, Don!

It's hilarious to read about normal American kids in those times of Ronald Reagan's warnings and explanations being superwised by a typical sadistic idiot from the Young Communist League apparatus and not understanding what exactly they were facing, just dismissing the moron.

It was the Clintons, not Obama, who started openly transforming the US into a USSR and rampant theft/embezzlement and subjugation under the guise of "ideology". And you are right, of course, any Western regime built on anything but Christian values and common sense is a cult run by power-hungry sadists not good at anything but lies and supported by parasitic-minded morons. That's why they can never do without censorship and suppression - no sane and normal human being can possibly accept their brainless "ideas".

Your reminscences made me go back to my own memories of those times - indeed, everyone in the US of Ronald Reagan knew very well that the Reds were evil, although very few had experience in recognising them, while with the advent of the Clintons and the collapse of the USSR, when it turned it into a no-holds-barred Wild East under the wise Clintons; "consultants", headed by the evergreen Jeffrey Sachs, the "Reds", the "Commies" and "Communism" disappeared from mass media as if by a flip of a magic switch.

So we have an advantage over the younger ones - we remeber, and they had never heard about it at all until Lindsay, Posobiec and others revived it in their campaining for Trump. The ex-Soviets and the Mao-generation Chinese in the US were screaming, trying to warn Americans all the time, but who listened? Now thank God, more and more people do, so please continue, your memories ARE fascinating and needed for the good of the country!

Thank you so much, and that's very thoughtful. The revolution in the U.S. has, as you said, been happening for many decades. Generations, even. And it is frustrating to watch the warnings of those who actually lived under communism go unheeded. May we not continue in that great mistake!

Thank you, Don. Alas, people have never been good learning from experiences of the others, it's only human, we just need to keep that in mind, not expecting instant results, and keep trying. Those creeps have been outing themselves for what they are more and more since Obama (they always do, their arrogance is their stupidity), making it easier to show people what's actually happening.

Thank you Don! I so enjoy your commentary on X. I’m thrilled to see you expanding to this CorTheory piece. As a fellow GenXer, I was particularly struck by your ability to recognize a communist country by not a revolutionary. Like you, I owe a great debt to James Lindsay; thank you for recognizing his work!

Well, thank you for all you've done. I've learned a great deal from you and others and, to say the least, it's been very eye opening.
