My East Bloc Adventures 1977-1987

My escapades behind the Iron Curtain vaccinated me for life against any affection for socialism. From my 1977 trip to East Berlin with a Dutch lesbian to my 1987 interrogation by East German border guards to dodging a commie machine gun at the Bucharest airport, I earned my cynicism fair and square. This is from my spiel to the Future of Freedom Foundation‘s online conference on the horrors of socialism.

    I clicked on ‘continue reading’ but found only a link to a video? Will you be providing a text transcript for the literate who are interested?
