Thank you for all you\u2019re doing, and prayers from our family and Ukrainians for Trump. I\u2019ve been escaping from Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Canada, ended up in New Jersey, and it totally disturbs me what is going on here. Meaning the communist activity or efforts of taking over.<\/p>\n<p>I really have a word for Bezos and Zuckerberg and Cuban and all the corporate honchos that are supporting BLM and all the riots and the disturbances that are happening. We lived through the way communists are taking over. First thing, they\u2019ll tax you. You can\u2019t pay your taxes; they take your property, nationalize it. Okay? You end up with nothing. Next thing is they start efforts&#8230; (stammers) You know, we\u2019ve seen in Czechoslovakia what happened. They start to &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, here\u2019s the problem, what the problem is, in a nutshell. Communism, you know the truth of it. You know that it brutalizes, you know that it is inhumane, you know that it is insufferable. But the people today who are being targeted in this country, it has been romanticized. Let me tell you what communism is today to the people today who support it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s freedom, it\u2019s equality, it\u2019s utopia, it\u2019s sameness, it\u2019s nobody\u2019s laughed at, it\u2019s nobody\u2019s made fun of. There\u2019s no competition. Nobody loses, nobody\u2019s ever embarrassed, nobody is scapegoated. This is the way communism is taught. It\u2019s the way that it has been, well, romanticized. It\u2019s the way college students today have been exposed to it, because all you need to do is look at Cuba, look at Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do is look anywhere where there has been or is socialism and communism and there is nothing to recommend it &#8212; and yet, so many American college students seem to want it. Now, the reason is, they\u2019re not told that Venezuela is an example of socialism or communism. They\u2019re not told that Cuba is an example &#8212; or, if they are, they\u2019re lied to about it. They\u2019re told that the best health care system in the world is in Cuba!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343268\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Socialism-BW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Socialism-BW.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Socialism-BW-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Socialism-BW-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And as an added bonus, that it is free. But I\u2019m telling you, Yuri, communism truthfully is not taught. Socialism, honestly, is not taught. You may have thought that I was trying to be funny. I\u2019m not. It literally is presented to college students as utopia, ultimate fairness, nobody loses. Everybody has what everybody else has. Everybody has the same. Nobody has any more than anybody else. Nobody is ever laughed at.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a big one. There is no competition. There are no losers. That\u2019s another big one. It\u2019s another lie that they use to rope young kids in. So is the &#8220;nobody\u2019s ever laughed at, nobody is ever made fun of.&#8221; (sniveling) &#8220;Ooh, man that\u2019s for me! That\u2019s what I want,&#8221; and that\u2019s how they get advocates. That\u2019s how they get believers, proving that communists do one thing consistently, and that is lie. All it is, is a gigantic lie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALLER: I&#039;ve been escaping from Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Canada, ended up in New Jersey, and it totally disturbs me what is going on here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":264270,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
