Question

what proof does president reagan provide in his speech of the failure of communism and the success of democracy?

Answer 1

when he says this in his speech it shows us how broken the soviet union is and the defeat of communism. It shows how the U.S ended up on top.

Step-by-step explanation:

" In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind—too little food. Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom is the victor. And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom."

Answer 2

The story of this discourse was revealed in an article written by historian Paul Kengor in Crisis magazine. The author recalls that Tony Dolan, the main author of Reagan's speeches, was a devout Catholic who knew Fatima well. Dolan confirmed to Kengor that the President, although not Catholic, was aware of the phenomenon.

“He knew about Fatima. Fatima was an important part of the anti-communist movement. The Fatima movement was something he would have known, and besides, he had a very strong mystical strand. ”

So Dolan included the phrase in the speech: “I knew he would like it and would use it. I was sure. It was very cheeky. ”
