#2 The mindset of Benjamin and her friends can best be summed up by her description in the San Francisco Chronicle of how she felt on her first pilgrimage to Cuba in the early 1980s. Compared to life in the United States, the communist social equality of Cuba "made it seem like I died and went to heaven," Benjamin enthused.

So why didn't you stay there, bitch?

They always wax eloquently about the socialist utopias, but they always come back here. Hypocrite assholes.

How many more hundreds of millions have to die under the boot of "Socialism" before these retards get it?
