When people are in desperate need of survival they will be able to accept any solution that gives them hope including government-imposed mandates. Even progressivism, socialism, or communism can be accepted by an anti-communist society, as it happened to Romania after World War II and can be seen in America right now, said Pastor Cristian Ionescu, a Romanian immigrant and Chicago pastor who fled persecution in communist Romania as a religious refugee.
“When you condition a society to collectively think in terms of surviving, [being] desperate for survival you will get them to accept anything,” Ionescu said in a recent interview on The Epoch Times’ Crossroads program.
