    Polish MEP Warns Americans Against Socialism

    Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński has issued a stark warning to Americans ahead of the 2026 elections, urging them not to vote for Democrats who support socialism. In a series of messages, Tarczyński, who lived through Poland's communist era, described socialism as 'death, slavery, and lack of any freedoms'. He recalled the hardships faced by Poles during the 70-year occupation, including ration cards, empty shelves, and martial law. Tarczyński expressed concern that Democrats are now promoting open socialists like Cornell West and Abdul El Sayed, and encouraged Americans to vote Republican to avoid repeating Poland's past.
