Survival guide to socialism from a Polish perspective

How I Survived Socialism: A Self-Help Guide for Worried Americans

The regime was harsh, the system absurd but rules made up in Moscow were no match for the individualistic Poles. Magda Romanska’s delightful piece shows us how it was done. Elegantly, of course.

"Recently, as I have been listening to speculation about the threat of approaching socialism here on U.S. soil, I thought, yes, finally, this is my chance to share my precocious knowledge with all my friends, knowledge that will help them to thrive and survive in the coming years. So, here it goes, the one and only guide to socialism you will ever need!"

Its an interesting read to say the least. I enjoyed the part about bribing and managing the showgirls, reminds me of my grandmother.

A civilized variant of Selco. I wonder which version we'll get to experience.

This is how toilet paper looked like (if you could find it) when I grew up in Eastern Europe. Sandpaper is a good analogy.

Is this still available?

If that's all that is available, it will be appreciated.

No, but if you are patient, you will have it here.

In all seriousness, I always hated my grandfather generation for not fighting against communism, while they still could.

Sheeeit-that looks 80 grit. Army rolls around 120 grit.

But it is still something that isn't your hand, so hard to complain in the grand scheme of things.

In fairness to GP he had been through a thorough fucking.

Im sure just breathing was a gift after what he had been through.

But.......

I understand your perspective also.

We didn't have a lot of money growing up. My parents divorced when I was a baby and my mom did the best she could to provide for us on her own. We were poor but I didn't know it. I find myself with mixed feelings about this article. I like my creature comforts but some of my best memories growing up were hunting and fishing to put food on the table and planting our garden. It's funny how so many work their asses of to get somewhere in life but all the while wish for a simpler life.

Hell yeah, CONUS kills coming.

We had some of this growing up with depression era grandparents. I agree we have become less of the rugged self-reliant Americans of the past. I blame laziness and complacency more so than capitalism.

Poland got dog-piled by Germany from the West and North, then Russia entered from the East, after England and the France told them they had their backs.

Germany executed a false flag attack called the Gleiwitz incident, which justified their invasion. Then the Russians entered and Poland was conquered, lost her independence for 50 years, until the US and internal natural consequences of Marxism-Leninism broke the economic back of the Soviet Union.

Trust me I haven't given up but regardless of the election outcome we are headed for hard times. You know as well as I do if Trump pulls this off all the little shit stains will be back in the streets "protesting" with a vengeance. It will not be handled the same way this time. Many who feel threatened will start stacking bodies this time more than likely still leading to civil war, just at a slower pace. If Biden is elected, it will not be accepted by the people or his actions during his first 100 days will spark the civil war. In either case we will have to change the way we live. I don't like it and I will die defending what I believe in but it's time to face the facts. Things are about to change and you better adapt quickly or you will be run over.

Kamala Harris said that no matter the outcome of the election, the BLM and ANTIFA people need to keep doing what they’re doing, to keep the pressure up. Alexander Ocasio-Stalin said that they need to start archiving all the data on who supported Trump so they can be made to pay.

This is how evil forces of communism do takeovers. It’s nothing new in approach, other than they have Sergie Brin’s Google to help them with data on everyone in ways that would have sent shivers through the Cheka, NKVD, KGB, and Stasi.

Individual freedom can only exist in the context of free-market capitalism. Personal freedom thrives in capitalism, declines in government-regulated economies, and vanishes in communism. Aside from better economic and legislative policies, what America needs is a more intense appreciation for...

Another good article about escaping a socialist country. She has written a few more articles for FEE too. I heard her on this podcast recently also.
