They\u2019re no longer objective. You can tell how much they hate this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at our, our academia!\u201d he continued. \u201cOur kids are not being \u2026 they\u2019re indoctrinated! They are taught that America is a bad country. That we\u2019re a bunch of racists, that we\u2019re bad people, and we have to pay back. If this country was racist, I wouldn\u2019t be here. If this country was a racist country, most of us wouldn\u2019t be here because even some people in your family came from another country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claiming communism has been a gathering storm in the United States for years, Alvarez placed particular blame on American Catholics for their failure to adequately denounce abortion, as well as on those who banned prayer in school, and those who want to restrict gun rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGun control? Every time there\u2019s a shooting, you want to have gun control. You know why? Because they\u2019re afraid the only way out of this is a civil war,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake sure that kids are no longer educated, they\u2019re indoctrinated,\u201d he added. \u201cMake 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\u2019s all part of the Communist Manifesto, and Saul Alinsky points that out very, very well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alvarez made headlines for his speech at the RNC last summer, during which he warned that Democrats are doing to the United States what Castro did to Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/immigrant-who-escaped-communist-cuba-democrats-are-doing-to-america-what-castro-did-to-cuba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>\u201cI know all about the past.
