Hard to say what was the official mark of communism’s defeat (in Europe), as in Czechoslovakia the Velvet Revolution started a week later and Ceausescu was executed on Christmas.
But the fall of the Berlin Wall is perhaps the most poignant symbol.

More like the defeat of the Russian Empire disguised as communism. Currently its rising it’s ugly head again under the premise of “anti-wokeism”.

Communism is a cancer that should never be allowed to metastasize. My family fled from Communist China, like so many, during the Cultural Revolution; because of the religious persecution of Christians under the CCP.
The CCP learned from the Soviets and emulated their sick system.

In their ‘minds’ 🙄 communism is everywhere!

Polish June 89′ was the start of the communism fall. First partly free elections and the Round Table.

Thank you David Hasselhoff.
Let’s hope for another defeat for the same crowd.
