Christmas is much merrier when you don’t have to live under end-stage socialism. Better lit too: Marilyn Pitre recalls taking her family on evening strolls at Christmas time through Altamira Plaza in Venezuela’s capital, soaking up the dazzling lights and giant tree made of light bulbs in a display that once drew comparisons to New […]

The cancer metastasized from Cuba to Venezuela. From there it spreads further. Left-wing candidate Salvador Nasralla, who apparently lost the November 26 presidential election in Honduras to center-right incumbent Juan Orlando Hernández, is belligerently contesting the results. In the USA, they quack forlornly about Russian collusion. Here’s how leftists take defeat in Honduras: When the […]

Auntie Maxine is at it again. Her target this time? Ben Carson and HUD. At a HUD oversight hearing this past Thursday, Representative Maxine Waters, D-CA, attacked HUD Secretary Dr. Carson and President Trump, insinuating that Carson is incompetent. She said, “In the face of the immense housing needs in our country, President Trump chose […]

Socialism has been getting a bad rap lately. True, it entails poverty and tyranny, and often genocide. Yes, it recently reduced the wealthiest nation in Latin America to economic ruin. But it has its positive side. For example, even as their countrymen starve and hyperinflation has reduced the local currency to worthlessness, socialism allows dictator […]

It isn’t hyperbole. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio really is a communist. Here he is quoted from a fawning recent interview with his fellow moonbats at New York Magazine: What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. The alternative to private property is communism, a system that […]

Socialist paradise Venezuela is home to millions of starving citizens suffering under the political and economic model that has killed more people in the past century than any other. Recently, photos circulated on social media of two men in Caracas who were standing on a street corner butchering a dog for its meat. The photos were […]

I’m shocked! Looks like the woman who was arrested for destroying a Confederate statue is a student at North Carolina Central University. Her name is Taqiyah Thompson and was taken by police after a press conference where she defended actions of demonstrators and called cops Confederate soldiers and Ku Klux Klan members. Taqiyah is also […]

This weekend, 19 people were injured and one woman was killed during the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville. Many right-wing groups refused to participate due to its inclusion of neo-Nazis. Both the alt-Right and the communist Antifa showed up looking for a fight and both sides got one. The Daily Caller gives us more […]

On Memorial Day, we honor the ultimate sacrifice that American heroes have made to keep this country free. At the opposite end of the spectrum from freedom we find communism, the most profoundly evil ideology ever devised. Communist regimes killed 100 million of their own subjects during the 20th century; hundreds of millions more had […]

So, a Trump supporter goes to an ANTIFA rally… (NSFW, strong language.) Just this week, Leo Stratton took a camera down to Chapman Square in Portland to talk to some Antifas. In Oregon, like so many other places in America, the Antifas look like a cross between kids who have never filed a tax return and […]

Ilya Somin reminds us why we have to be especially sure to acknowledge Victims of Communism Day today: This year is a particularly important time to remember the victims of Communism because of the approaching one hundredth anniversary of the October Revolution – Bolshevik takeover of Russia. The Soviet Union was not the most oppressive […]

There is one good thing about communism. James Cracknell, an Olympic rowing medalist and aspiring politician, zeroed right in on it during an interview with Sky News yesterday: “If you think of the two countries of the world that have got a handle on obesity, what do you think they are? Which two countries?” he […]

What is the next notch in the ratchet, after healthcare has been accepted as a right? The Guardian's Poppy Noor argues for housing: Housing inequality in Britain today strips people of their humanity. Walking under archways, it’s hard not to notice homeless people shivering in sleeping bags, trying to remain inanimate, like the other non-human […]

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has traditionally been associated with the brightest minds in constructive fields like engineering. But now, like most of academia, it is succumbing to moonbattery: MIT Press is out with a new book that teaches children the tenets of Karl Marx with fairy tales. Communism for Kids, written by a German […]

Democrats had good reason to be willing to fall on their swords to ram through ObamaCare despite public opposition. Due to the ratchet effect of any government handout on which people become dependent, it will probably never truly be repealed, and control of healthcare is a gateway to control of everything else. Not only can […]

Through the power of socialism, Venezuela has been creating large numbers of millionaires. However, being a millionaire in Venezuela is about as meaningful as the government’s collectivist rhetoric. Amid rampant inflation, widespread shortages of everything from toilet paper to medicine and a failing economy, the Venezuelan government recently introduced three new bank notes into the […]
