FREEDOM
On this day 37 years ago, the Berlin Wall fell. Two years later, the USSR itself would fall, freeing more than 400 million people from communist tyranny.
For decades, the Iron Curtain shut off millions from the prosperity and quality of life that free markets brought to the West.
The Bolsheviks promised the people "peace, land, and bread". Instead, they experienced forced labor camps, confiscation of property, bread lines, and barren supermarkets.
The USSR and its Marxist system resulted in the deaths of tens of millions across Eastern Europe.
Today, socialists are still making empty promises. The consolidation of state power, the abolition of private property and free enterprise, and a reliance on government for every need will NEVER make the people free. It will bring only pain, death, and a worsening of the very issues it claims to solve.
Today, YAF begins it's Freedom Week celebrations. Nationwide, our students will be building mock Berlin Walls in order to tear them down and educate their peers on the misery it caused and the system it enforced. Stay tuned.View quoted post on X
