Still think that we (Western democracies) “won” the Cold War?

HOMESICK FOR A DICTATORSHIP
Majority of Eastern Germans Feel Life Better under Communism

It is no longer sufficient to dismiss articles like this in major, and still very influential, Western media as the workings of a badly educated and indoctrinated leftist staff.

Progressivism has been the most enduring and consistent political and social philosophy for more than 100 years. What we call Conservatism today is a weak-wristed resurrection of 18th Century values that speaks only to how much is “too” much government.

The Left is not only inside Conservatism’s OODA Loop it’s spinning it like a maniacal dervish. When I start seeing MSM articles that promote the idea that individual liberty is harmful and undesirable then it becomes clear that a few Congressional seats are not going to kill this monster.

When even Solzhenitsyn’s voice can become muffled in the stampede to collectivism it’s time to start reading Jeremiah.
