If you run into someone who once lived in a communist country, and they currently live in the United States (or the West), they usually take a dim view of their prior situation. I’ve chatted with folks from the Soviet satellites on their old country and heard horror-story after horror-story on reality in these hell-holes. Milla Jovovich, the actress from Resident Evil and the Fifth Element, was born in Kiev (where I hear they have excellent chicken.) And she found a picture of herself as a little girl:
So depressing and communist! Milla Jovovich
And her response to it was amusing. So depressing and communist, she tweeted.
How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Spell check…Navy One…it’s United States, not Sates…sorry…I don’t often find any spelling errors on your blog entries…I’m not even looking for them….just this second noticed…interesting topic though….most people who were born into those current dip into communist circumstances know better than to praise their former life in that particular reality…it wasn’t much of a life….they came here to get away from it or their parents did….and now we are forced to become a part of it because our citizens wanted freebies rather than freedom……not while I’m here though….telling our current regime where to stick it will be my job until I’m laid under…who knows I could do some good…..k
