Communism appeals to the naive, lazy, and stupid. Only a fool believes an authoritarian dictatorship with full control of all political and economic rights is going to care about the free and creative potential of humanity. How did the experiment work out in the Soviet Union?

Since the wave of support, but also hate, for Metallica is showing no signs of slowing down, here's a bit of history that will ruffle the feathers of a few communism enthusiasts.
On 28 September 1991, Metallica, along with rock legends AC/DC and Pantera, whose career was about to skyrocket, performed at the Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow. It was the first time the festival had been held in Russia.
Those who lived through Soviet occupation or have relatives who lived under Soviet communist control, whether in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, the Baltic states or elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe, will understand the significance of this.
For decades, Western music faced censorship and restrictions under communism. You couldn't simply walk into a shop and buy the latest Metallica album. Fans often had to rely on bootleg recordings and pirated tapes.
Many of those people craved the West, its culture, its music and the freedoms that people on the other side of the Iron Curtain took for granted.
That's why, when Metallica and the other bands performed in Moscow that September, it was about so much more than music.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered to watch Western rock bands perform in the heart of the Soviet Union, although some estimates put the crowd at over a million. This was at a time when communism was finally crumbling.
James Hetfield recalled that even Soviet soldiers and police simply let go and joined in with the crowd, headbanging to the music.
Less than three months later, the Soviet Union would collapse.
That concert became a powerful symbol of the end of a dark chapter in history.
And most importantly, and this will really annoy all the right people, no political statements were made by the bands. No preaching, no telling people what to think.
As James Hetfield recently said, the audience came to escape reality.
And as for any of the material performed by the bands being political in nature, well, they simply played their songs and let the music do the talking instead of preaching to the audience.

Which one of them invaded the other and bombed cities? Which one massacred and raped civilians under occupations? GTFO with the moral equivalence. No one says Zelensky is a model of perfection but this is bs

The United States is more than Trump. America is millions of people with big hearts who have not turned their backs on Ukraine during the darkest hour of our history.
To every American who supports us, helps us, and continues to believe in Ukraine: thank you. Thank you for your kindness, your solidarity, and for reminding us that we are not alone in this fight.
We may never know your names, meet you in person, or speak the same language. But your support reaches us across an ocean, and it means more than words can ever express.
One day, when this war is over, we will remember not only those who turned away from us, but also those who stood by our side when it mattered most.
America is not just its president. America is also you. And we will never forget that.

New AC fans arguing between Kate and Tasha.
Old AC fans: "You're as beautiful as the day I met you"
Harry: "Uncle, this is Dracaena."
Uncle Vernon: "Oh, WHAT NOW?! Another burden? Good Lord, Harry, living with you is already enough! And now you've brought a girlfriend? What's next, the entire population of poor people?!"
Dracaena: "My name is Dracaena Malfoy."
Uncle Vernon: "..."
Uncle Vernon: "I'm sorry, WHAT?"
Dracaena: "Dracaena Malfoy."
Uncle Vernon: "THE MALFOYS?! THE MALFOYS?!"
Vernon's face suddenly turned pale.
Harry: "Uncle?"
Uncle Vernon: "The family associated with William the Conqueror? Richard the Lionheart? Connections to half the German nobility? Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars and have many stock in nearly every European country and America company?!"
Dracaena: "My family has a long history, yes and yes we are very rich very much."
Uncle Vernon: "..."
Uncle Vernon: "PETUNIA!"
Aunt Petunia: "WHAT IS IT NOW, VERNON?!"
Uncle Vernon: "OUR NEPHEW HAS BROUGHT HOME A MALFOY!"
Aunt Petunia: "A WHAT?!"
Uncle Vernon: "DUDLEY! GET THE CAMERA! GET THE GOOD CAMERA! THE ONE WE GAVE YOU FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY!"
Harry: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Uncle Vernon: "WHAT AM I DOING?! WHAT AM I DOING?! HARRY, MY BOY, YOU HAVE JUST CHANGED THE HISTORY OF THIS HOUSE!"
Dracaena: "I'm sorry?"
Uncle Vernon: "MISS MALFOY! WELCOME! PLEASE, COME INSIDE! WOULD YOU LIKE TEA? BISCUITS? THE ENTIRE HOUSE?!"
Harry: "Uncle, five minutes ago I was a burden."
Uncle Vernon: "SILENCE, HARRY! YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS NOBILITY AND I'M YOUR FATHER NOW!"
Harry: "Okay, WHAT?."
Vernon suddenly grabbed Dudley by both shoulders and stared him directly in the eyes.
Uncle Vernon: "DUDLEY, LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY!"
Dudley: "WHAT, DAD?!"
Uncle Vernon: "WE ARE NOW NOBLE, DUDLEY! YOU BETTER BEHAVE, OKAY?!"
Dudley: "WE'RE WHAT?!"
Uncle Vernon: "NOBLE! NOBLE, YOU HEAR ME?! NO MORE BURPING AT THE TABLE! NO MORE THROWING FOOD! NO MORE ACTING LIKE A PIG!"
Dudley: "BUT DAD!"
Uncle Vernon: "YOU WILL LEARN MANNERS! YOU WILL LEARN ETIQUETTE! YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO BOW!"
Harry: "Uncle, she's just my girlfriend."
Uncle Vernon: "JUST YOUR GIRLFRIEND?! HARRY, YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS! YOU'VE FOUND US A WAY INTO THE ARISTOCRACY!"
Dracaena: "..."
Aunt Petunia: "Vernon, should we prepare the guest room?"
Uncle Vernon: "THE GUEST ROOM?! PREPARE THE BEST ROOM! AND SOMEBODY FIND ME A BOOK ON NOBLE TITLES!"
He turned back to Dracaena, suddenly standing straighter than Harry had ever seen him.
Uncle Vernon: "Miss Malfoy, welcome to our humble home. We are deeply honored."
Harry: "Can I have a bigger bedroom now?"
Uncle Vernon: "HARRY, YOU MAY HAVE THE ENTIRE UPSTAIRS!"
"What filth did you bring into this house, boy?"
"My last name is Malfoy."
"Oh my... one of the Malfoys? Lieutenants of William the Conqueror? Richard the Lionheart's trusted vassals? Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars? Dudley, boy, get that camera we gave you for your birthday!"
*Whispering to Harry:* "We have a cadet branch that likes to meddle in Muggle affairs. Dad can always go over the Minister of Magic's head when that worm tries to resist."

Sorry we haven’t been as present here. Things are moving fast in the Netherlands, with lots of press attention and even discussions in Parliament. We’re incredibly grateful. Last Monday, we never imagined survival could still be possible. Your support means the world to us. ❤️
