Tyranny, Repression, and Serfdom is what life is under Communism-Socialism. I risked my life to get out of Hell. People born in freedom fantasize of the Socialism heaven. Instead, they will get Misery and Poverty equally distributed. Life under communism is cruel and inhumane. Commit the smallest political infraction, and the secret police will arrest you. The only ray of hope is the West, but getting out of communism is difficult. Communist countries have a “Berlin Wall” around them. It is a crime to escape by crossing the border illegally, and anyone caught is beaten and imprisoned, sometimes even shot. I was eighteen, and I was living in hell. However, I would rather have died than keep living as a communist slave. This is my story of what happened and how I reached freedom.A warning for all Americans of what Socialism will bring to us.
