3 Communists walk into a bar, one orders a $15 mixed drink, one a $10 Martini, and the other ๏ฟผa $6 beer. When the bill comes, based on their mantra, they are forced to split the bill equally.
Next week, the three, once again, return to the bar, but this time, they all ask for separate checks, so the bartender asks them, why arenโt they splitting the bill equally, since in communism, everyone pays the same fair share. The three communists reluctantly agree, and once again split the check 3 ways.
The following week, the three communists return, but with a mob of devoted followers, and protest the bartender, to change the prices of all their drinks, to the cheapest drink on the menu.
In fear of his business vandalized or burned down, the bartender agrees. So the following week all the communists come in and enjoy their $6 equally priced drinks, and celebrate the successes of communism.
The Communists continue this for several more weeks, until one Friday they return to the bar, to find it closed, with a sign out front, stating that the bar is out of business.
And that comrades, is how communism works.
According to the American scholar Robert C. Davis, between 1530 and 1780 the total number of white Europeans captured by Muslim Barbary corsairs, based on customs records, is estimated to be around 1,250,000 people, from all backgrounds.
Maybe itโs time young Westerners were taught this in school, instead of being led to believe that only white people ever practiced slavery.
And perhaps it should also be pointed out that it was white societies that first put an end to this practice, even though it still exists today in some African countries.
