(and Soviet Amerika?) When the Iron Curtain comes down.
Russian warns of what is to come:
Below I publish the rules most of us practiced for survival while living in the Soviet Union. Learn, please, if you think it will be useful for you (if you do not escape to New Zealand).
I am aware of "Russia, Russia" screams from the Democrats in the last years, but those are just foolish screams of ignorant people. What is coming will devastate them as much as you and I.
Those are irrelevant to the advice I am giving you here, once the US is entering a very special era of socialism and total control/punishment, it is the end of the American Dream.
Here are the rules we followed in the USSR (not sure what will be applicable, but you need to know and practice in advance):
1. Stop expressing ANY your private opinion publicly. You should express happiness and smiles, and not words, all the time when you are in public. You are a builder of Communism.
All your private thoughts are just for you, not for others. Remember - if you discuss anything private with your spouse in your own kitchen - that can be reported during a divorce for a larger alimony, or for promotion at work, or for other favors for her. Please be sane and restrictive in what you say out loud. NO, I am happily married for 30Y, but I have to be cautious now going forward, USA or not. NO, I am not paranoid, it is just new era for the USA (old for us, immigrants).
2. Please follow your leaders and memorize what they say. This is important, as this is what you should repeat when you talk in public or in private about politics, or even with a friend - and if you recognize that someone says the same as other communist's leaders say - cheer.
If you do not cheer, you will be blamed for not being politically correct. Your friend or your wife or your neighbour will report you. He/she will be rewarded, you will go to jail/gulag/FEMA camp forever.
3. If - God forbid - your child says something that is not in-line with the Communist Party line (at kindergarten or school) you will loose your job, your place of living, and - your child. Please be cautious in what you train your child to say once your teach him or her. What is permissible to say or not should be very clear. Please be politically correct at home.
4. Never complain about what you have - job, work, home, wife, child (children). If you are not happy you immediately become a dangerous element. You will be eliminated.
5. NEVER read books or whatever is not allowed. I, once, have seen an outside cover of a prohibited by the USSR Communalist Party book. The person who was carrying it secretly (16 years old girl) has spent 2 days at KGB solitary cell, I have spent there about 4 hours - I was not dangerous as I did not read the book. 2 adults were sent to Siberia for the incident (parents, and not mine).
6. Remember, all elections are fair and right. If you ever doubt, god bless your dead body. Seriously, please never talk about it. Everybody knows anyway - elections are fair.
7. Play stupid always when you talk to your boss, especially if he/she is in the Party.
Basically, it is it, for our immediate future.
Thank you for reading, we are all together in this
