It is time to “revisit Communism”. It is also time to ask some basic, essential questions:
How is it possible that a system so logical, progressive, and so superior to what is, up till now, governing the world, failed to permanently overthrow the nihilism and brutality of capitalism, imperialism and neo-colonialism?

If you say anything mean about Trump's core supporters, he will come right to their defense-- as long as he thinks he can get away with it. I wonder if anyone will ask him about the neo-Nazi strategy that ABC News is reporting. The pandemic fits right into their insane agenda.
