Lawrence Reed was the president for the Foundation for Economic Education and promotes freedom and free markets. He has a story with a similar message from Communist controlled Poland.

”For more than three decades I have shared with audiences around the world a story I first learned from Sofia and her late husband Zbigniew when I secretly spent an evening with them in communist Poland. The two had only recently been released from prison for having run an underground radio during martial law. Its message was anti-communist and pro-freedom. When I asked them in November 1986 how they knew if people were listening and supportive when they were broadcasting, Sofia said, ‘We asked them to blink their lights and when we then went to the window, all of Warsaw was blinking.’”[2]

Perhaps the Communists and Socialists in this country just received the same message.
