DO YOU READ WORLD MAGAZINE? YOU SHOULD. IT IS A CHRISTIAN MAGAZINE THAT COVERS STORIES AND ANGLES THE MAJOR MEDIA EITHER DISTORT, OR IGNORE.
WORLD’S MAY 25THCOVER STORY IS ABOUT MIGRANTS FLEEING FROM SOCIALIST COUNTRIES. EDITOR MARVIN OLASKY VISITED DORAL, FLORIDA WHERE A WAVE OF VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS HAVE COME TO LIVE AND ESCAPE THE MADURO REGIME AND ITS ACCOMPANYING POVERTY, HUNGER AND DESPOTISM.
OLASKY WONDERS WHY ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE REMAIN SO ATTRACTED TO SOCIALISM. PART OF IT IS THE PROMISE OF FREE STUFF, BUT A MORE IMPORTANT COMPONENT IS AN IGNORANCE OF HISTORY, ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNGER PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT ALIVE DURING MOST OF THE 20THCENTURY. CONSIDER MARX, ENGELS, CASTRO, MAO, STALIN, POL POT, HITLER, HO CHI MINH AND MANY OTHERS. ALL WERE RESONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS AND OPPRESSION OF MILLIONS, BUT THE MAJOR MEDIA AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS IGNORE, OR WHITEWASH HISTORY.
