None of the self-styled Realists understood why Reagan’s “Evil Empire” speech caused such an uproar. Something that is less noted is the titanic boost it gave to opponents of the regime in the Soviet Empire.
Let me first talk about the Realist Uncle. Those who worked in the samizdat movement would often say that their worst enemy was not the regime, but their Realist Uncle. On television you would often see a Soviet family sitting around the dinner table talking. We used to do that. We would sit at the dinner table for an hour or two and talk before going tot he other rooms.
What we did not know was that in Russia, there WERE no other rooms. You sat at the table until you moved it and went to bed. So here you were, risking imprisonment with a tiny illegal publication. If you were caught, your Realist Uncle would, at best, lose his permit to live in Moscow. His not reporting you was a felony.
And your Realist Uncle was an old man, who thought he represented Wisdom and, of course, Realism. You listened to him attack you as a day-dreamer for the entire evening around the table, pointing out Soviet Power.
Reagan was exactly what your Realist Uncle was NOT. He proclaimed the Soviet Empire was Evil, which meant that it was not a natural thing, but a blot on the face of the earth. The term “Evil Empire” made the USSR mortal. It was no longer one of the two natural superpowers that EVERY, and I mean EVERY “Realist” said would coexist forever with the West. Countries that routinely killed people trying to escape from them were Evil. Reagan had to put “Mr. Gorbeczev, tear down this Wall!” into his Berlin speech THREE TIMES when his staff marked it out.
The Realists on his staff took it out.
Where in the hell have these “realists” BEEN the last forty years?

Communism and its pet project he Soviet Union was the illegitimate bastard child of sick and twisted minds, minds set upon the destruction of the white race. World War one and the collapse of the Russian government allowed this virus to infect the peoples of Russia, it unleashed murder and hate never seen before in the history of the world.
The anti white bastard child never fit in, nor did it ever grow up, it continued to feed off the wealth and creativity of the vary nations it looked upon as exploitive. It was the alien traitors in the democratic west coupled with the mommy professors and liberal Ted Kennedy’s in government that kept this starving child alive for 70 years. Few know the truth of how the anti whites in white America and Europe allowed this murder machine to live on. These traitors aided and abetted mass murder and allowed the poison of Marxist social engineering to infect our nations and race, they are the worse scum to ever exist and many are worshiped today as heroes.
