I don’t justify communist atrocities at all. But the simple fact of the matter is, these violent revolutionary movements become successful when the government they seek to replace is terrible. That is a fact that needs to be faced up to, and no amount of right-thinking anti-communist ideology is going to change that...

No, Communists become successful because they are given aid and comfort by spineless, lily-livered useful idiots who believe that the governments the communists seek to overthrow are terrible. These stupid traitors to their own countries always cause greater tyranny and mayhem than anything they sought to replace. History bears witness to their ignorant miscalculations resulting in the rise of the communist monsters they aided and abetted.
