THE HUMAN COST OF SOCIALISM IN POWER
EpicTimes ^ | Sept 7, 2015 | Richard Ebeling

The attempt to establish a comprehensive socialist system in many parts of the world over the last one hundred years has been one of the cruelest and most brutal episodes in human history.

Some historians have estimated that as many as 200 million people may have died as part of the dream of creating a collectivist “Paradise on Earth.” Making a better “new world” was taken to mean the extermination, the liquidation, the mass murder of all those that the socialist revolutionary leaders declared to be “class enemies,” including the families, the children of “enemies of the people.”

The Bloody Road to Making a New Socialist Man

We will soon be marking the hundredth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia (November 1917) under the Marxist revolutionary leader, Vladimir Lenin.

I wonder if dear leader thinks he is the one who can do it properly?

Probably. He claims they ARE they ones they've been waiting for. If I were them, I'd up my standards.

Liberalism is an evolutionary dead end.

How many socialist/communist leaders have given up the palace to go pull turnips at Turnip Commune #43?

None.

They are just slickyboys/slickygirls who want wealth and power and can’t get it in their present situation.

So, they convince a bunch of idiots to go out and fight and kill and die for them so they can have wealth and power.

And after they get socialism, the idiots find out they can’t get toilet paper or electricity.

There would be a lot less bloodshed if they hung every jackass that talked socialism/communism.

College students! Want to have a positive effect on our world? Throw your professors out the window when they start talking about how great socialism/communism is.

Someone needs to tell the commie pinko Pope about this.

Over a hundred million dead at the hands of Socialism and the Pope is worried about the “excesses” of capitalism.

“Socialism is not in the least what is pretends to be. It is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not build, it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created . . . Each step leading towards Socialism must exhaust itself in the destruction of what already exists" - Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis
