LENIN is supposed to have referred to blind defenders and apologists for the Soviet Union in the Western democracies as "useful idiots." Yet even Lenin might have been surprised at how far these useful idiots would carry their partisanship in later years -- including our own times.
Stalin's man-made famine in the Soviet Union during the 1930s killed more millions of people than Hitler killed in the Holocaust -- and Mao's man-made famine in China killed more millions than died in the USSR. Yet we not only hear little or nothing about either of these staggering catastrophes in the Communist world today, very little was said about them in the Western democracies while they were going on. Indeed, many useful idiots denied that there were famines in the Soviet Union or in Communist China.

The twentieth century was a hundred year long experiment in socialism. Soviet socialism, sino-socialism, national socialism, Fabian socialism, gramscian socialism and the various Latin american and Asian brands of socialism all failed and resulted in more than 100 million civilians murdered by their own governments.
Now, the slow-witted kids are suggestingbthat socialism can still be made to work. That’s the easy way to identify the cell we witted kids.
I hate auto correct
100 million is the current score. The true ravages of sociopath-ism has yet to be tallied.

Unfortunately, as we look back in history we must conclude there have always been and there will always be useful idiots. It is a sad realization that it is a human affliction. Marxists and Communists recognize this and do their best to double down on creating an even larger dumber class of morons to manipulate. In this country they have taken over our taxpayer financed educational institutions to teach our young their ideological idiocy.
Excellent take!

And, over the long term, that is the most effective and scariest of their initiatives.
