Cuban American who warned about destructive force of socialism talks to Glenn Beck

Linking through the Babalú Blog to an interview with Maximo Alvarez a Cuban immigrant who escaped Fidel Castro's communist regime as a teen warning against socialism

Those who truly know about socialism oppose it. Those who do not support it. This aphorism has been confirmed time and time again. The video we’re presenting is a prime example of that wisdom. The Blaze also did a fine write-up on the warning that is well worth a look.

The Babalú Blog, a website of Cuban-Americans that work tirelessly to conserve liberty and expose the ravages of communist Cuba, also confirms this adage.

Babalú Blog is the brainchild of Valentín Prieto. In 2003, he came to the realization that there simply wasn’t a media platform or venue for likeminded Cuban-Americans to share their thoughts about Cuba, the dictatorship there, U.S. policy toward that dictatorship, music, culture, food, etc. That being the case, he set out to create one.

So, at Babalú, our slogan is “an island on the net without a bearded dictator.” We take an old-school, hard line stance against the dictatorship in Cuba and generally are aligned with conservative politics. We have a loyal core readership, we’ve met with Presidents and Senators and the New York Times, one of the worst culprits in the whitewashing of the Cuban dictatorship, called Babalú “a rabid anti-Castro forum.” That’s a description we wear with pride.

Why do those who truly know about socialism oppose it?

This is another of a long series of questions that leftists can never answer. They somehow don’t seem to understand that socialism is built on a lie. The promise is that somehow the workers will control the means of production, even though that never happens.

GoldCo 1

Infuriatingly enough, this is often used as an ‘ad hoc rescue’ of the ideology as a means to pretend that ‘socialism has never been tried before’. The fact is that like many aspects of socialism, that is just an unfulfilled promise like all of the others.

The most realistic description of socialism comes from Lawrence Reed, president of the Foundation for Economic Education:

Socialism isn’t about free choice, it’s about concentrating power into the hands of government elites—ultimately through force.

Socialism is the concentration of power into the hands of government elites to achieve the following purposes: central planning of the economy and the radical redistribution of wealth.

Socialism is based on wealth redistribution by force

There are two other basic questions leftists can never answer – because they go straight to the heart of what is wrong with it and why it never works.

Does socialism require wealth redistribution? Yes or No?

The answer is yes to this one given Marx’s maxim:

“From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Karl Marx

Or the most basic perusal of the left’s socialist national agenda. This is followed up by the second question:

Does wealth redistribution require force? Yes or No?

Obviously, it takes the threat or application of force to take property from one group and redistribute it to another to buy votes. But leftists can’t admit to this basic truth.

There are only two forms of human interaction – voluntary co-operation or coercion. Economic liberty is based on voluntary co-operation. It should be clear by now that socialism is based in Coercion.

This is why economic liberty is superior to socialistic slavery, it also explains quite a few leftists’ lies.

The bottom line: Socialism is based on lies

We’ll finish this up with a quote from Mark Perry of the American Enterprise Institute: Why Socialism Failed: A 2018 Update.

Socialism is the ultimate Big Lie. While it falsely promises prosperity, equality, and security, it delivers the exact opposite: poverty, misery, inequality, and tyranny. Equality is achieved under socialism only in the sense that everyone is equal in his or her misery.

In the same way that a Ponzi scheme initially succeeds but eventually collapses, socialism may show early signs of success. But any temporary accomplishments quickly fade as the fundamental deficiencies of central planning emerge. It is the initial illusion of success that gives socialism its pernicious, seductive appeal. But in the long run, socialism has an unbroken track record of being a formula for tyranny, poverty, and misery.

[Emphasis added]

At its base level, socialism is founded in force, but the left cannot admit this basic truth so it has to cover it with lies. That is why it’s opposed by those such as Mr. Alvarez who truly know it’s ‘secrets’. That is also why you need to have publications like the Babalú Blog, The Blaze and The NOQ report for that matter. We expose the lies in the fervent belief that eventually people will wake up to the lies and send it to the ash heap of history.

American Conservative Movement

Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time.

Yes, We Need Your Help

I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…

When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.

Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.

The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.

We currently operate:

  • NOQ Report
  • Conservative Playlist
  • Uncanceled News
  • Based Underground
  • Truth Based Media
  • Five other conservative news sites

I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.

For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
