Communism and Islamism, both in marriage and in isolation, have never produced a single system or regime under which people thrived. Russia was communist under the Soviet regime. Did Russia thrive? No, authoritarianism created a repressive state and forced collectivism lead to mass famine and economic stagnation. The Soviets also took control of North Korea and turned it into a communist state. Is North Korea thriving? No, there’s probably nowhere on earth that has suffered as much failure to thrive as North Korea. Iran was taken over by Islamists in the 1979 coup. Is Iran thriving? No, it’s under hyper-militarized oppressive authoritarian rule marked by medieval style lynchings in public for dissent or insulting the supreme leader. Afghanistan was overtaken by Islamists, is Afghanistan thriving? No. We are witnessing the worst global erasure of women into nobodyhood. How many more examples do you need to see that this is not the “freedom” fight you think it is? It’s actually fighting freedom. And yet people still support these suicidal ideologies because they think it’s a challenge to “western imperialism.” They don’t understand that if the west didn’t suppress the rise of communism, none of us would be thriving anywhere. Suicidal ideologues - that’s what they are.
