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. You can see the full video, including my discussion with Jacob Hornberger and Richard Ebeling, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3wmbkrgk2o
