Today’s young adults have been indoctrinated to believe that socialism is the way of the future — the only way to live a fulfilling life.
Those who have lived through socialism can tell you this is not so.

Frank de Varona was a child in Cuba in the 1950s when it was one of the most prosperous nations in Latin America. He witnessed firsthand the takeover of private businesses by Fidel Castro and his regime, including his father’s successful cattle ranch. He watched as Cuba was plunged into poverty and despotism, and anyone who fought back was killed or sent to prison. At the age of 17, Frank fought alongside his brother, cousins, and friends in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and endured the unfathomable atrocities of a Communist prison afterwards. In this compelling presentation, De Varona will tell you, from experience, how the “cure” for capitalism is really the method by which power hungry Marxists of the Deep State take control, and what we need to do to stop it.
