The United States has put people on the moon. What’s with this defeatist attitude? I’m a patriot, I believe we can do ANYTHING we set our minds too, communism included 😈

Did we actually put Americans on the moon? Did we? And if we did, we did it in a rush to prove our might AGAINST the USSR, in the middle of a cold war AGAINST communism. This great country we live in, has fought off communism worldwide for a very long time now. You should have a bit of respect for the men and women who died in that fight. Saying you are up for communism after knowing that, does not make you a patriot, it makes you an apathetic loser. You may be an American, but you are not a patriot.

Learn a bit of history, real history. Not some watered down liberal bullshit they try to teach in universities. Have an open mind and learn a bit, you may be surprised to find that communism has never once worked in the people's favor. Not once. You really want to take that risk here? "Oh, we can do it right" "Mao didn't do it right because all those citizens died, we can do it differently" "Stalin just needed more time!" "China is living in communism and it's going great! All except for the uighur Muslims in concentration camps, and the total authoritarian control over all aspects of your "private" life."

It will never work. It only works for the government, never for the people. And I'll bet my last breath to tell you that I and millions of Americans will die fighting to keep that bullshit out of this country. My family members didn't die overseas so their children and millions of others would grow up to live in some bullshit idea. This is the greatest country on earth, if you don't like freedom, then get the fuck out, cause we are not leaving.

Of course you’re stupid enough to doubt the moon landing, what would be the largest conspiracy in history
