UMVA has learned that a prescient warning from a fictional CEO, delivered over three decades ago, has become a horrifying reality, echoing the dangers of socialism and communism that threaten the very fabric of American society.
The fictional billionaire CEO, Lawrence Garfield, played by Danny DeVito in the 1991 film "Other People’s Money," foresaw the destructive power of socialist and communist ideologies, stating, "Congratulations. You're destroying the capitalist system... You know what happens when capitalism gets f---ed up? The communists come back. They come out of the bushes."
Today, Garfield's warning has become a stark reality, as far-left elites, including New York City Democrat leaders, are pushing socialist and communist mandates that are having devastating effects on jobs, education, safety, and cities across America.
An increasing number of Americans across a broad political, socioeconomic, and age spectrum are waking up to the dangers of socialism and communism, and are now taking a stand against these ideologies.
Many older Americans who witnessed the brutal regimes of East Germany, the Soviet Union, and Cuba are educating younger Americans about the pitfalls of socialism and communism, sharing their firsthand experiences of living under totalitarian ideologies.
Millions of naturalized Americans who escaped these regimes and fled to the United States are also sharing their stories, providing a reality check for younger Americans who may be unaware of the dangers of collectivism.
As Americans prepare for the upcoming midterms, they will be explaining what "collectivism" really means, and why the taking of money and property from those who earned it is anti-American.
A recent statement from a top aide to a prominent Democratic leader has sparked outrage, declaring that private property, especially homeownership, is a "weapon of White supremacy masquerading as ‘wealth building’ public policy."
The overriding dictate of the narratives being pushed by far-left leaders is clear: "You will bend and break for the greater good of the collective... or else." However, a recent report suggests that only a small number of Americans have bought into the false promises of socialism and communism.
As the American people prepare to soundly reject socialism and communism in the upcoming elections, they will be drawing on the lessons of history, and the warnings of those who have lived through the devastating effects of these ideologies.
The word is spreading like wildfire, and come November, Americans will have the opportunity to make their voices heard, and to reject the poisonous brew of socialism and communism being peddled by far-left leaders.
