A Cuban refugee warned that Americans have already “swallowed” the “communist poison pill.” He blames the media and “indoctrination” in the country’s classrooms as proof.
“Not only have they swallowed it, they digested it. Listen to the media. They’re no longer objective. You can tell how much they hate this country,” Maximo Alvarez said Wednesday on the podcast The Truth with Lisa Boothe when asked if people have “swallowed the communist poison pill.”
“Look at our, our academia! Our kids are not being … they’re indoctrinated! They are taught that America is a bad country. That we’re a bunch of racists, that we’re bad people, and we have to pay back. If this country was racist, I wouldn’t be here. If this country was a racist country, most of us wouldn’t be here because even some people in your family came from another country,” he continued.

Alvarez fled Cuba for the United States in 1961 as part of Operation Peter Pan, which brought more than 14,000 minors to the U.S. as dictator Fidel Castro rose to power in Cuba. Alvarez went on to found Sunshine Gasoline Distributors in South Florida.
Alvarez said communism in America has been in the works for years, pointing to how Catholics aren’t vocal in denouncing abortion anymore, how laws ban prayer in school, and how Democrats are adamant about passing gun control.
“Gun control? Every time there’s a shooting, you want to have gun control. You know why? Because they’re afraid the only way out of this is a civil war,” he said.
“Make sure that kids are no longer educated, they’re indoctrinated. Make sure that people hate each other. Envy, hatred. Make sure that the blacks hate the whites. Make sure that the rich hate the poor. Make sure that the people who live in the city hate the people who live on the farm. It’s all part of the communist manifesto, and Saul Alinsky’s points that out very, very well,” he said of how communism seeps into culture.

Alvarez has been vocal in denouncing communism, including in August when he spoke at the Republican National Convention.
“I’ve seen movements like this before. I’ve seen ideas like this before. I am here to tell you — we cannot let them take over our country,” the Florida businessman said at the time. “I heard the promises of Fidel Castro. And I can never forget all those who grew up around me, who looked like me, who suffered and starved and died because they believed those empty promises. They swallowed the communist poison pill.”
