SOCIALISM HAS BEEN TRIED!
Not once. Not twice. Again and again and again.
The Soviet Union. China under Mao. Cuba. Venezuela. North Korea. Cambodia under Pol Pot. Zimbabwe under Mugabe. Vietnam. Ethiopia.
The result is the same every time.
First come the promises. Equality. Justice. For the people. By the people. Nobody shall have too much. Nobody shall have too little.
Then comes the reality.
Soviet Union: 20-60 million dead. Through famine, gulags, purges and terror. An entire continent held prisoner behind an iron curtain for 70 years.
Mao: 45-80 million dead. The greatest man-made famine in history. The Cultural Revolution that systematically wiped out the intelligentsia, tradition and family.
Pol Pot: 25% of Cambodia’s population wiped out in four years. Wearing glasses was enough to be shot. It marked that you could read. And reading was dangerous.
Venezuela: The world’s largest oil reserves. A wealthy country. In 20 years turned into a country where people eat from rubbish bins and flee by the millions.
North Korea: Three generations of a people held as slaves in a system so brutal it is hard to describe in words.
Cuba: 65 years. Same family. Same promises. Same imprisoned journalists. Same empty shelves.
The pattern is not coincidental.
It is not an implementation error. It is not that “the right socialism hasn’t been tried yet.”
It is the system working exactly as it is designed to.
Because a system that demands total control over economy, property and resources - demands total control over people.
And total control over people demands power without limits.
And power without limits demands enemies.
Always. Class enemies. Enemies of the people. Enemies of the state. You - if you disagree.
AND THEN THERE IS EUROPE.
We don’t call it socialism. We call it progressive values. Green transition. Redistribution. Social justice. Diversity. Inclusion.
But the mechanism is the same.
The state grows. Freedom shrinks. Taxes rise. Businesses are regulated to death. Expressions that don’t fit are punished. Gender is fluid. Family is outdated. God has been privatized away.
And in the middle of all this - we actively import and protect a political law-religion that is everything the progressive movement claims to fight against.
An ideology that oppresses women. That persecutes homosexuals. That punishes freedom of speech with death. That knows no separation of religion and state.
And the one who speaks out is called racist, hateful or extremist.
This has NOTHING to do with progress and development!
It is the same film just with a new title.
And we know how it ends.
This is what we can look forward to if Europe continues with the governments and the policies being pursued in the majority of our countries.
History is screaming at us. But we choose not to listen.
And I know what some are thinking now.
“These are extreme examples. It could never happen here. We are Europe. We are enlightened. We have institutions. We have democracy.”
That is what the Venezuelans thought too.
In the 1970s Venezuela was one of South America’s wealthiest and most democratic countries. With free elections. With a middle class. With institutions.
That is what the Cubans thought too.
Castro did not come to power as a tyrant. He came as a liberator. With promises of freedom, justice and equality.
The pattern is not that it happens overnight. It happens gradually.
First it is just taxes. Then regulation. Then control over the media. Then who is allowed to say what. Then who is the enemy. Then who must be silenced.
And by the time you can see what is happening - the institutions are already in the hands of those who wish you harm.
Freedom is NEVER lost in a single day.
It is lost while people are busy living their lives and trusting that someone is taking care of it.
This is exactly what we are witnessing now.
This is known by all who carry wisdom. Who can see further than tomorrow. Who understand that history is not an abstraction - it is a warning.
We need you. More than ever.
Not to agree with us on everything. But to dare to say it out loud. To create the necessary resistance so that history does not repeat itself and our children and grandchildren are not let down by the generation that knew…and chose silence.
You matter more than you know. Use your voice❤️🔥🪽🦍💃
