I found this video from an economics class on YouTube. It's really great to watch how, in 1989, the President of the Soviet Union, Boris Yeltsin, made an unprecedented visit to Houston, Texas to see our space program and asked to stop at the local grocery store. From that point forward, he changed the direction of his country from Communism towards Capitalism. Take that! Bread Line Bernie Sanders! https://youtu.be/K0fRDgF7PeM

What are you talking about? When Yeltsin became president the Soviet Union had collapsed, taking communism with it.
Yeltsin was a reformer anyway, to say that a visit to a US supermarket made him a capitalist is fantasy, mastubatory fantasy.

Did you actually watch the video? I did not say the the visit to Food Town made him a capitalist. Things turned around for the Russian people from not having any choices to having some freedoms. Is that not a good thing? My point is that if people are so hot on socialism and communism look at the imagery in the video and the Russian grocery store. I want people to ask themselves if is that what they want for themselves and their future generations here in America? That's what will come if we don't red pill normies, too many people have their eyes on all the free stuff they think that they're going to get. All we're going to get is slavery.

No, they turned around because communism collapsed due to the polices of Gorbachev, not because of the drunkard Yeltsin
