In this episode, you will meet Ray Armas, who was one of our first interviews we did in 2019. It's an honor for us to have him back to share his experience growing up in Cuba under the Communist Dictator, Fidel Castro, and what drove him to plan his escape.
You won't want to miss this unfiltered and passionate discussion with Ray as he delves into exactly who the Communists were and what they set out to do in Cuba. Ray begins with him being indoctrinated as a young child, explains the prison system in Cuba, who Che Guevara was and the fact that today in America, he is portrayed as some sort of icon among young people and celebrities. Ray goes on to share how the US was portrayed in Cuba as "the Empire", the realities of socializing the government and healthcare, food rations, and the many nonsensical and arbitrary laws set in motion by Castro.
Lastly, hear how Ray ultimately escaped communism and what led him to serving in the US Army. This interview will broaden your understanding on world history, the destruction and chaos communism perpetuates, and the importance of protecting the freedoms we have today in America. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to like, subscribe, comment and SHARE this interview with all those you love and care for. When we continue to share these interviews, we equip people with the truth about socialism.

Ray's Cuban School Photo - A Note from Ray:
"...that's me in First grade with my teacher giving me the “now I know how to read and write” certificate (that used to be a thing in 1989s communist Cuba). Sadly, in those days only 5 people had a camera in the entire island...haha yeah, there is not much private memories of people in pictures from the 70s and 80s in Cuba. But yes, that's the uniform of the “Pioneritos” - Little pioneers- (Red shorts, white shirt and that blue tie) we all had to stand in attention and produce a military salut while yelling “PIONEROS POR EL COMUNISMO, SEREMOS COMO EL CHÉ” - Pioneers for communism, we will be like Ché -"
