Very interesting feature, as usual, on communism. When the Soviet Union broke apart, we celebrated, thinking it meant the fall of communism, but we forgot that China was still communist, as it remains to this day, and they have continued spreading communism to the rest of the world. They bought out many American industries, including much of Hollywood. Who would have thought back when this issue was printed that we would end up SELLING our country to the communists?
