Florida Senator Marco Rubio put it very well during his interview on Fox News where he commented on the disgusting response Black Lives Matter gave on the Cuban anti-communist protests.

In the interview, Rubio made it clear that Black Lives Matter’s existence was a “Ponzi scheme” that shook down major corporations in order to make its leaders wealthy, which as we’ve covered previously, it absolutely did.

To catch you up, BLM decided to say that they condemned the U.S. for its treatment of Cubans and undermining its right for Cubans to choose which government they want. It doesn’t mention communism as being the key factor in the suffering of Cubans, it just lays it all at the feet of America.

Now we also have people like New York Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying almost the exact same thing in her own statement that she finally released about it, prompting blowback from even her fellow Democrats.

“We stand in solidarity with the Cuban people and condemn the suppression of the media, speech and protest. We also call for an end to the U.S. embargo and additional Trump-era restrictions that are profoundly contributing to the suffering of Cubans,” tweeted AOC.

You’ll notice both BLM’s leadership and AOC both love bashing America and both live very privileged lives as a result. As I’ve written before, it’s a pretty common trait among high-profile anti-American figureheads and influential socialists. Even Bernie Sanders, the most popular socialist in America, lives a high life many of his biggest fans could only dream of.

Oddly enough, you’ll notice that these anti-American, socialist/communist celebrities and influencers aren’t falling all over themselves to get to these countries where these systems of government are firmly in place. They aren’t so desperate to immigrate there that they’re building makeshift rafts in hopes that they can float their way to the shores of communist countries.

Here’s the brutal truth. If tomorrow America did become socialist or communist, it would be the worst day of these people’s lives, and what’s more, they know it.

These are people who have learned to work the capitalist system in their favor and accept obscene amounts of money from the very system they speak out against on a daily basis. AOC chased Amazon out of New York and bashes Tesla, yet she drives an Elon Musk-made vehicle and illegally parks it at Whole Foods, an Amazon-owned grocery store.

Bernie Sanders famously has multiple expensive homes, and BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors just recently moved into a million-dollar home in a very white neighborhood.

These aren’t Marxists, these are really good salesmen. They sell the idea that Marxism is a good form of government and that America is evil for not adopting it. They convince people that America is evil and that they can lead it into a brighter future if we just hand over power to them. They then get to sit back and rake in the dough that comes their way from useful idiots who used the capitalist system to obtain their own money.

These people don’t actually want communism but they sure do want to sell it. They’ll write books about it and sell it on the market, not give them away to the people. They believe they should be paid for their labor, comrade, and besides, how can they pay for their lakehouse if they don’t charge?

The bottom line is this: Anti-Americanism is a business, not a movement.
