In this three-part series, Western Free Press's Brad Zinn interviews three naturalized US citizens who lived under socialist/communist regimes and can describe first-hand what it’s like.
Americans who think socialism sounds like a good way to achieve “social justice” would do well to listen to all three interviews. And Americans who have come to take freedom for granted would benefit from these poignant reminders of how easily freedom can slip away under a socialistic/communistic regime.
In this second of three parts*, naturalized American Mr. Daniel Paul, originally from the Polish Ukraine, describes his life under two forms of socialism: first, the National Socialism of the Nazi party, and second, Soviet Communist socialism.
No one is more American than a citizen who himself or herself escaped from tyranny to live in freedom.
