Secretary of State Cord Byrd seeks public input on History of Communism Museum
Press release from Florida Department of State
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Secretary of State Cord Byrd announced the release of a public survey to gather input on the creation of a museum of the history of communism. The survey will remain open until November 1, 2024.
“Input from Floridians is needed to develop recommendations on the creation of a museum of the history of Communism,” said Secretary of State Cord Byrd. “I encourage all interested parties to take the time to complete and share the short online survey.”
On April 17, 2024, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law CS/CS/SB 1264 (Chapter 2024-102, Laws of Florida) relating to the History of Communism. The bill requires the Department of State, in collaboration with the Department of Education, to consult with state and national stakeholders to provide a recommendation to the Legislature, no later than December 1, 2024, on the creation of a museum of the history of Communism.
what? seriously?
+1
WTH?
I guess a museum is appropriate, since it is a relic of the past, with only N Korea as a proponent of communism. The Chinese aren’t communists anymore. They have a dictatorship overseeing a network of oligarchs. No more communes with cradle to grave support, though they still existed into the 90s.
But why would we build the museum?
Chinese aren’t commies? Look up ChinaUncensored.TV
The Chinese are communist in name only and practice nothing Marx or Mao preached. It is a dictatorship, not of the proletariat, but of the filthy rich oligarchs. As I noted, they still had communal living and production into the 90s with cradle to the grave protections, but no more.
Jazz, I actually agree with you for once, maybe twice. Social-fascism is what the CCP employs, similar to Russia, Ukraine, Brasil, and many other countries trending towards uniparty rule. The USA is in hot pursuit of social-fascism, all part of the CCP plan for global assimilation.
Forgot Venezuela, Nicaragua, and many others.
Sure, that’s why we have the world’s largest GDP ($26 trillion compared to China’s $17 trillion), several states ranked as among the world’s largest economies (California is 4th, Texas’s is larger than Russia’s), and workers in even Mississippi are making more on average than workers in the UK, Germany, and France. As The Economist magazine called us, “Oct 19th 2024
The envy of the world” and said “America’s economy is bigger and better than ever.”

Did you forget about the Communist Party of Cuba? Just 90 miles from our shores.
Yes, I did God, and I suggest we all do. Unless you think Cuba and N Korea represent competing ideologies worth anyone’s time that is, but who does?
What a fool you are! They are called the Chinese Communist Party.
Yeah Peabody, and the Nazi’s called themselves the National Socialist Worker’s Party, even though they gained power because of the support of all the German industrialists of the time, and with help from others in Europe and America.
What’s your point? Have you read a paper recently or have any idea what life in China is like anymore.
This is an important educational and cultural effort – needed to keep us Free! As Ronald Reagan eloquently stated, “Freedom is only 1 generation away from extinction.”
It is important to record and present the failures of communism, otherwise the tyrannical Leftists will keep trying to deceive the USA of its potential utility.
No one is selling Marx anymore so relax. A lot are selling fear of it, but it’s a dead idea and a dead letter.
GOOD LORD! Vote em all outta office! Except for DeSantis…
uh thats his bill
I sure hope it has at least an entire wing devoted to the greatest and goodest man who ever lived to hate commies, our dear departed Brother John Birch.
And another wing devoted to Brigade 2506, the secret CIA op in the Florida everglades to train anti Castro fighters.
Cuban Communism is the greatest threat to the American Way of Life known to mankind. Nuke Havana!!!!!
Can we host the museum here? Convert the City Hall bldg, or County Admin bldg. I’m serious, it’ll draw YUGE tourism dollars from all over the globe!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸MAGA
So true, love it!
JK: you have hit on a great idea. The Alachua County Commission is totally into having tourists come here. They are always looking for new ways to spend their Tourist Tax dollars to attract new tourists. Please go to a county commission meeting and start a campaign to have this museum located here. The BOCC will gladly spend millions to make it happen.
Hope the choose Gainesville as the location. It just seems appropriate don’t you think? Maybe they can put the costs on the backs of GRU ratepayers too?
Have any of you heard of the Peter Pan (Pedro Pan) children of Cuba? That would be an informative display for a museum. Many hard working naturalized US citizens were Pedro Pan children. It was a heart breaking decision for the parents to make so their children could have freedom from communism.

Wish more people understood this.
– In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafał Gan-Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, he replied: “I wouldn’t know, I’ve only ever killed Communists”
I’m surprised by the naysayers here. This is an important educational and cultural effort – needed to keep us Free!
It is important to record and present the failures of communism, otherwise the tyrannical Leftists will keep trying to deceive the USA of its potential utility.
Like who?
Truth: Then why not build a second museum next to it warning of the dangers of German and Italian fascism in the 1930s that thousands of American troops had to go to Europe and die to stop it from taking over the world?
Warn the American public of why not to elect a fascist who admires Hitler named Trump as President.
Pleas reply and explain your position.
