204. Question is fallacious. Terrorism is a tool of fascism, they go together.
Lots of starving people in the world who have no rights at the moment because they live in abject poverty under the thumb of totalitarian governments and victims of economic and social oppression would jump at the chance of living in a communist country like Cuba for a generation or two if it meant that their children would be born and grow up with entitlements such as health care, government sponsored education, and other social services plus jobs that pay a living wage.

Compare the standard of living in Cuba to that in Haitii and then ask which people have more freedom, those living under Castro and those living under Papa Doc and the various governments that have come after him? Who has had a better standard of living?

Eventually, those nurtured under communism will want more, but it is a good stepping stone up fromm poverty.
