Remember
What to Know: Sunday, Nov. 7 was Victims of Communism Day (you probably didn’t hear much about it in the mainstream media). The TPPF Take: Our own Austin Prochko’s grandmother, Eva, was smuggled out of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. For the communists, it was not enough to rewrite history — all traces of the former way of life had to be dismantled and destroyed. Old Czech heroes were torn down as oppressors and new communist heroes were risen in their place. Sound familiar? “Communism, in all its forms, misleads, divides, and destroys,” says Austin. “Communism’s eternal dichotomy between oppressor and oppressed destroys freedom and divides communities. Sadly, its narrative is being rekindled in America today — and, if we let this narrative win, it will destroy us.”
