    Where are they going to deport communists TO?

    Back in the day, they put communists on a ship and sent them to the USSR. (Where most of them were fiercely disillusioned within a few years and demanded to return.) But today? Cuba? Venezuela? Vietnam? Best Korea? Norway?

    I can't imagine any of these countries agreeing to accept mass immigration from America. No way. They would be turned away the same as when America refused to admit Jewish refugees before WWII.

      The reverse is when the USSR put liberal/monarchist intellectuals on a boat to Germany, then they did it again a few years later to Istanbul. That was awesome though.

      The current USA only knows how to do brutal things in the laziest way possible, so my instant assumption is socialists would get sent to Mexico. Further red meat for the hogs.

      I could actually see Cuba accepting American refugees. They tend to be pretty cool with incoming immigration.
