What you are about to see and read may appear unbelievable for some of you. But this is the state of affairs in Spain, a country often labeled as a communist nation in South-Europe.

A few years ago, an elderly man was fast asleep in his house at 2:30 am when a criminal, with 45 previous records of violence and not native to Spain, broke into the dwelling with the intent to rob. The old man woke up, and as a result, the criminal attempted to attack him. Fortunately, the elderly gentleman had a hunting weapon and was able to use it against the assailant, ultimately killing the criminal and saving his life.

What would have been a joyous ending in a civilized country has turned into a living nightmare for the old man in Spain. Here, it is literally against the law to defend yourself or your property with a weapon that holds more power than the one wielded by the criminal. This means if a criminal attacks you with a stick, you can only defend yourself with a stick and not something more formidable like a knife or gun, even if you're an elderly man up against a young, strong attacker. As a result, the old man now faces a 7-year prison sentence and a fine of 235,000€ (which he will never be able to pay).

If you find this unjust, prepare yourself for an even worse law: Spain is well-known in Europe for allowing people to occupy houses that do not belong to them without the permission of the rightful owner. It gets even crazier - if the new occupant does not pay the electricity and gas bills, you are still obligated to foot those expenses. After more than two years of tribunal proceedings (if you're lucky), there is a chance the court might return your house back to you, but by that point, the illegal occupant will have already moved on and taken over another dwelling. If you try to evict these squatters by force, you'll end up in jail. Thousands of elderly people are forced to live with relatives in Spain due to this issue, unable to reclaim their homes from the criminals.

I understand it's hard to believe but trust me; it's true.

Now, why does this happen? The answer is simple: Spain has a ratio of approximately 30% of its people living in poverty and unable to afford even the lowest rental prices for homes. Of course, they live in poverty because Spain is a full-blown socialist country moving rapidly towards communism, with an estimated real unemployment rate of around 30% and a significant reliance on tax revenue from working citizens. Additionally, they receive extra funding from the European Union, mostly Germany and other northern countries.

In order to prevent millions of people from being homeless, their solution is to allow poverty-stricken individuals to effectively steal homes from successful citizens in the past or those who are too old and vulnerable to defend themselves.

These are the consequences of both socialism and fiat money, as well as widespread ignorance and cowardice from taxpayers who unknowingly support these policies. People in more affluent countries in Europe should be aware that the only reason Spain has not yet collapsed into a full-blown Venezuela or Argentina is because your taxes are helping to keep it afloat. You're inadvertently funding our communism, and as the situation worsens, your countries will face similar challenges. Keep in mind that we are all connected - if Spain falls into complete chaos, it won't be long before the rest of Europe follows suit.

Now the video:

Elderly Man: I'm not going to leave my house, and I will defend it. I don't know how I'll defend it, but I'm not going to run away from it. I'd rather die in my house than flee and leave it in the hands of some criminals. Judge: That's why I tell you, the purpose was that you were protecting your house, and then directly to you yourself, but what worried you is that you wouldn't leave your house. Elderly Man: I'm not leaving my house. Judge: That's it. The main defense was your home. Elderly Man: Exactly. Judge: Well, that's what I told you. Elderly Man: It's because (the house) is what humans manage to achieve after a long life of struggle, sacrifice, effort, and passions. Having a place where you feel protected because it's yours. And according to the constitution, because it's inviolable
