“Let me be clear – any attempts to spread the oppression and poverty that Socialism always brings will be rebuffed by the people of Florida,” he added. “Travelers should be aware that attempts to spread Socialism in north Florida will fail and be met with laughter and mockery.”

"However, in much of Central and South Florida, the situation is far more dangerous for Socialists, as they may encounter people from Cuba, Venezuela, and other parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean who have direct knowledge of, and experience with, the horrors of Socialism.

        Florida has been a bastion of Black Capitalism for decades, with some of the largest communities of black-owned businesses and black home ownership in the country. One reason it does still occasionally flip blue, and why guys like Andrew Gillum can do bumps of cocaine to within 2-pts of the Governor's mansion, is because of the enormous concentration of inter-generational black wealth and community.

        You can't just throw all that shit on your back, pick up, and leave. Black Floridians are stuck in the same position as Palestinians during the Nakbr or Iranians under the Shah. Surrender all your wealth to some white looters or fight a conflict you're doomed to lose in a place where there's nowhere to retreat.
