1. Amusing how many who believe themselves 'in the know' don't realize that communism won the second world war, and that the Democrat Party endorses every aim of the 50's Communist Party.
a. They know on an intellectual level that the Nazism was national socialism....based on nationalism and/or race...
....and Communism is international socialism.
Then they look at the United Nations,.... At Yalta, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin appointed a communist spy, Alger Hiss, to be the first Secretary-general of the U.N. for the founding conference held in San Francisco,April/June of 1945.
Somehow, for the indoctrinated, 'international socialism' and 'United Nations'...they don't compute.
In any case, to make the point as to what Leftsits, Obama supporters, are willing to give up....
...here is an interesting view on why the communist homeland fell:
2. "....for Soviet travelers who came to the United States between 1958 and 1988, the experience brought a broadening of major proportions, changing not only the way they saw their host country but also, and more importantly, the way they saw their own.
a. Approximately 50,000 Soviets were guests of the United States during that period,...
3. The end of the Cold War and the collapse of communism were consequences of Soviet contacts and exchanges with the West....EXPOSURE to everyday American life was a part of the visits of most Soviets....
4. ...a visit in the 1970s to a typical Wisconsin dairy farm by a delegation of high-level Soviet scientists, .... operated by a farmer and his two daughters. The visitors were astonished by the range of modern equipment, the fact that the farm grew its own fodder, the extent to which the dairy operation had been mechanized, the cleanliness of the animals and their stalls, the very high milk production as compared with Soviet dairy farms, and the profit made by the family.
a. "Why do we live as we do?" was a question many of them ended up asking....
[ Yet modern communists insist 'You didn't build that!']
5. They could not believe there could be such abundance and comfort. .... When they returned home, in their own minds and in the privacy of their own trusted little circle of family and friends, they would tell the truth to themselves or to others.
6. The early students often thought they were being offered the equivalent of a Potemkin village, that the stores they were shown had been set up especially to impress foreign visitors. When a Russian delegation came to San Francisco in the early 1960s and got caught in a traffic jam, one of its members said, "I'll bet they collected all these cars here to impress us."
a. Potemkin villagesthe term derives from Prince Gregory Potemkin, said to have built model villages to impress Catherine the Great on tours of her overextended domainbecause that is how they prepared to receive important visitors in their own country
7. ACCOUNTS OF Soviets' astonishment on visiting their first American supermarket are legion, from the first Russian students who came to the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s, to the future Russian president Boris Yeltsin in 1989.
8. Boris Yeltsin reacted somewhat differently to a Houston supermarket in 1989. He expressed astonishment at the abundance and variety of the products he saw, but in his autobiography "Against the Grain" he describes the experience as "shattering":
"When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons, and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people. That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it."
9. Bill Keller, a former New York Times Moscow correspondent and now the Times's executive editor, sees Yeltsin's visit to the United States in even broader perspective: "The prosperity, the rule of law, the freedom and efficiency [Yeltsin] witnessed in America, catalyzed his notions about the fraud of communism."
10. Soviets brought home from their travels to the West a redefinition of the word "normal"one that covered the gamut from service with a smile to functioning telephones to accessible elected representatives. .... the visitor said, "Now I understand the United States: It works!"
Back in the USSR - BCM - Winter 2004
Again:
"The prosperity, the rule of law, the freedom and efficiency [Yeltsin] witnessed in America, catalyzed his notions about the fraud of communism."
Read carefully and see what inveterate communists from the Soviet Union found.
None of them thought the United Stated needed to be fundamentally transformed.
