I read someone mention that they thought the USSR invaded Afghanistan to HELP pull them into the present.
They were really benevolent that way :) /s
We MUSTN’T forget the HORRORS of communism. Never.
The new monster on the block is Akbar (and he is a horrific monster), but that doesn’t mean the old one isn’t still alive and well in some places.
I can remember when the former Harper government up here began the building of the Victims of Communism memorial. The reaction of the talking class here was pathetic, with remarks like “how about a memorial for victims of British imperialism and wars?”.
“Those who did repeated the false history developed by Castro after Ches death that he was a hero of the common man.”
THAT’S a good one... since Fidel was fed up with Che and sent him down there to murder him, away from Cuba or else to let Che get himself killed in his BS ‘revolution peddling’.
I like that.
I remember reading “Against All Hope” as a young man, and I remember how gratified I was when Ronald Reagan appointed its author, Armando Valladares, to some prominent human rights commission. The book was like a Cuban version of a Solzhenitsyn experience - if I had the authority to do so, I’d make it required reading for any of those college naifs who requested a visa to travel to Cuba to work in the fields.
The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression is displayed on my bookshelf and is an early attempt to catalogue the crimes of Communism.
Thanks for posting.
Huge gangs roam the planet and the republic. Secular TOTALITARIANS (marxists) and religious TOTALITARIANS (mohammedans) ALERT! Civilization in the cross-fire. Witness history and current events. Be prepared. The world has been a slaughterhouse throughout history. We are fortunate to be on an island of relative sanity in the interim. Individual/family/state/republic of The United States of America BUMP!
