Well, and the amazing thing about it is that in 1989, when they broke the shackles of communism, it was actually poorer than most African nations.

The system had driven it completely into the ground.

And so it's really an economic miracle and an amazing success story.

The best economy in Europe right now.

You know, in Warsaw, you probably noticed the Palace of Culture, okay?

Which is a building they kind of debated whether or not they would destroy it.

So, you know, these buildings were built by the Soviets basically to remind everyone in all the capitals of the subjugated nations who was actually in charge.

So they had a kind of a debate because it's this massive monstrosity, right?

Right in the heart of Warsaw.

I mean, it's amazing to be having been working on this organ harvesting industry because it's really just something that to me is a kind of a natural consequence of a communist system.

And I first learned about that from my parents because they had to flee in the 70s.

That's why I end up being a Canadian and why I'm in the process of seeking to be American, in fact.

because I do kind of believe in, you know, Reagan's maxim that this is the shining city on the hill, despite all of the horrible Epstein, basically, revelations and everything.

You know, this is actually, you know, the one thing that the communists are particularly good at is propaganda.

They're top shelf at this.

In fact, you know, Marx himself was actually not somebody that was known at all.

His economic theories had been totally discredited.

And he basically only became famous after the Bolsheviks took power and just pushed mass propaganda into the system, saying it's because of Marx's glorious, brilliant ideas that we managed to create this utopia.

Right.

When, in fact, it was just sort of the philosophical justification for the horror show that they were building.
