    Mexico didn’t build a wall. The Eastern Block did in the cold war. Think the Berlin Wall

      Both the US and Mexico are capitalist democracies. The meme implies that Capitalists built a wall to keep Communists out.

      It’s an awkward meme that doesn’t make much sense.

        It doesn’t imply that. It says that (some) capitalist states build walls to keep refugees out (like the US and in a way the EU) while (some) communist states build walls to keep (potential) refugees in (like the GDR)
