Malcolm Muggeridge, was initially supportive of the Soviet regime. But then he went to Moscow as a correspondent for the Manchester Guardian and learned about the Ukrainian famine. The Guardian censored his reports.

The more things change with the left, the more they stay the same. Last century, reports of Stalin's mass terror were censored. Now, any valid criticism of Islam is censored.

That was going to be my comment, as well, as it is entirely obvious that the deluded totalitarian leftist mindset is repeating itself in this context.....

Very interesting connection.

And 100% right.

As a last gasp they succeeded in ruining their own country and culture by fundamentally changing the immigration laws of Britain when the held power in the 60’s and 70’s. The Left destroys all it touches.

The poster boy for the selling of the Soviets was Walter Duranty of the commie NY TIMES, who won a Pulitzer prize for writing that there was no famine in the Ukraine, while Stalin gave him a rent free luxury apartment in Moscow.

Duranty went far out of his way to attack Malcolm Muggeridge for writing that there WAS a terrible famine in the Ukraine.

Yeah, like the NYT did with Walter Duranty. Big time cover ups by the left of Stalin’s Russia in the 30’s. Millions died, even outside of the Ukraine, regular Russians were taken to work camps for the 5 year plan against their will being treated no better than those at Auschwitz. Stalin also had a Theresienstad camp in the 30’s to show the Red Cross. Its amazing how we are fed “Adolf” 24/7 on the TV and only about 5% on our “Uncle Joe”. No one in Hollywood dares to make any films on the USSR years of the 20’s to 50’s. Oh, I forgot those 40’s films like “Mission to Moscow” and the semi musical “North Star” about the Guerillas/Partisans. LIES! Commie propaganda, compliments of Hollywood.
Give the left the power they lust and we will eventually end up with a dictatorship of the proletariat. The British left and the American Left worked hand in hand, Roosevelt knew! His staff was infiltrated by the left. Our country needed Russia, we sent them tons of supplies, guns, ammo, food, transportation, and clothes that got us out of the depression. When it came to crimes against Humanity, the USSR got off Scott free. It all got swept under the rug by the left.

Yeah...Satan tries to keep the lid on this sort of thing, lest you may turn to Christ....

Before Trump was elected, I actually saw Hillary-bots posting on comment boards that they were looking forward to Hillary’s win so that people like us would be taken to “camps.”

The left has not changed.

We must never let people forget what the left has done.

The leftist disease is that of a useless arrogant prick, is. often priviledged, but always having a grand view of the self, picking on productive people somehow needing killing because he or she has no experience in their work.
