    If communism is so good then how do you explain this one Latvian fascist I know saying it was bad? He tells me all “real Latvians” think like him, a claim that I do not find suspicious at all.

    I one time had a goofy classmate in college who did a speech about the evils of communism blah blah, then at the end he revealed he grew up in a socialist country but narrowly escaped with his parents. He didn’t say the country, but he had some kind of Latin accent so I thought he was probably Venezuelan or Nicaraguan based on the guy’s age.

    Then it turns out he’s Brazilian? And he immigrated to the US in 2004? Also I learned his parents were some kind of very wealthy con-artist private doctors who peddled stuff like herbs and prayer as cures.
