Confession from an American anti-communist

I can't speak for every single other anti-communist in America, but I'm here to admit that the only real reason many of us hold our anti-communist views is due to resentment and jealousy.<br><br>When the average American looks at the Russian, Chinese, North Korean, and Cuban people and our own country, we see in the long run that the rest of the world actually seems to work better than we do. Even though they have their own problems, they are prospering and in better positions than our own country is. However, due to pride, nationalism, and the fear of being called "woke," we try to hold onto our capitalist system and deny the fact that it's actually failing us.<br><br>Meanwhile, we see an entire continent across the Atlantic Sea that clearly has things a lot better and works better than our own country does. We may not want to admit it, but Europeans seem to live better than Americans do. However, when we see the nations across the Atlantic and see how well they are doing, we feel a deep sense of resentment and jealousy.<br><br>We have been taught to be so nationalistic, patriotic, and proud of our country that we start to hold resentment and jealousy towards the countries that do it better than we do. We hate communist nations so much because we feel that they are somehow stealing our spotlight and doing things better than we are. We can't stand it when people talk about the fact that the people in other countries have better healthcare, food, and living conditions. We hate to admit the fact that the rest of the world seems to do it better than us. So, we spread propaganda and lies to try to convince our own citizens that other countries are bad and that we are still the greatest country in the world.<br><br>I don't know if other parts of the world have the same mindset, but in America, we still believe that we are the greatest country in the world. After all, we are still the world's greatest superpower. We are still the world's greatest economy. We still have the most powerful military in the world. So, we feel that it's our birthright to be the greatest country in the world and to be the leaders of the free world.<br><br>So, when we see other countries prospering better than we are and having better living conditions than we do, we start to feel paranoid and jealous. We start to think that these countries are somehow stealing our spotlight and doing things better than we are. We can't stand it when people talk about the fact that other countries have better healthcare, food, and living conditions. We start to resent these countries and try to convince ourselves that they are somehow evil.<br><br>We can't stand the fact that other people across the world live better than we do and have better living conditions. We can't stand the fact that our own country clearly doesn't work better than it used to. So, we try to convince ourselves that other countries are somehow evil and that our own country is still the best country in the world.<br><br>I'm sorry to say this, but that's the sad reality of the American mindset. I don't know if other parts of the world have the same mindset as we do, but I know that the American people have been taught to be nationalistic and patriotic to the point that we will hate anyone who tries to take our spotlight.<br><br>I'm not saying that every single American has this mindset, but I know that this mindset is common among many Americans. I'm not saying that I have this mindset either, but I'm just reporting that it's a common mindset in America.<br><br>I wish I could say that it's not true, but it's a fact that many American people are jealous and resentful that other parts of the world seem to do it better than we do.
