E21 - The Reality of Communism: Guest Claudiu Ganea

One form of government that is often up for debate is communism. There have been a lot of discussions about this type of system and whether or not it is a viable way to govern a country. Some people believe it is the best way, whereas others think it would be a disaster. The idea of everyone being equal sounds great on paper, but it does not work in the real world.

In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan are joined by Claudiu Ganea. They will talk about what a communist government is, how Claudio escaped Romania, and what it's like to live in a communist country.

Claudiu Ganea was born and raised during the communist era in Romania. He knows exactly what life under a communist government is like. Having lived for 20 years without freedom, he now believes and advocates protecting the Second Amendment rights of the constitution.

Favorite Quotes

40:20 - "So all you conservative parents out there that are like, look my kids just don't get it. My kids are going to high school and the high school teachers are teaching my kid that communism's a way to go. Maybe we set up a communism camp and they get to go and they sign off on the waivers then they're like, look you understand your kids are gonna starve for two weeks. Right? Because the kids are going to walk in there going, I heard this is great. You send your kid to Claudiu for a month and they get 1200 calories. They come home and you can see their ribs. Every time they ask for more food, he hits them in the balls of their feet. I give him a glass of water if they are hungry. A glass of water." - Jim Larkin, Dan Wilkinson Jr, and Claudiu Ganea

1:09:38 - "What makes us exceptional here (USA) is our constitution. That’s what makes us exceptional. Nobody else has a constitution as we have. Nobody has the freedom of speech that we have. Nobody has the right to bear arms that we have. Nobody has the right to not self -incriminate against search and seizure that we have." - Jim Larkin

1:11:21- "The USA is one of the best countries in the world. You can grow up here. You can have everything. You have the constitution, it's good. Hold the hands on your guns. Don't let them take them away from you. You have rights. You have freedom of speech. So, for the kids who want communism and want socialism, bring them to me for two weeks. And then we will talk about it. It's not the way to go." - Claudio Ganea
