The Bolshevik Century; Well That Didn’t Work
Libertyme ^ | 10/09 | Francis Turner

Posted on 11/11/2017 2:33:08 AM PST by Djl3668

“100 years ago today, November 7th, the Bolskeviks seized power in Russia and ushered in a century of terror, murder and economic/environmental mismanagement that killed more people than any other ideology or religion ever in the history of humanity. Not only did they kill more people in absolute terms, but the Communist regimes inspired and supported by the Soviet Union get to claim top spots in the “relative death” chart.

It is worth reminding people of these facts when others try to whitewash the bloody red past.”

They’re ready to try again. In fact, it’s almost certainly what’s behind AntiFa, not just that they are communist or Cultural Marxist but that they actively desire another go.

The “bolshevik’s”/leftist poison is still producing its nasty effects in the western societies weakening and destroying them from within !
Actually the bolsheviks refered themselves to the french revolutionnary TERROR , mass slaughter and anti-theist ideology and political tyrany .

It’s about to give real names to those things in order to get rid and cured and reverse the trend !
If we don’t do that we will die and it could be a great disaster for humanity

Murdered by Stalin: 1917-1987 = 61,911,000

Murdered by Hitler: 1933-1945 = 20,946,000

Mao by starvation & by murder: 1923-1987 = 76,702,000

Japanese by murder: 10,000,000 (conservative estimate & does not count those murdered by Japan in China and SE Asia, Pacific Islands)

Total in excess of 169,559,000 people murdered by Socialism during the 20th Century. (Omits those killed in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Cuba.)

And modern Democrats & Socialists believe they can do it the “right” way ... since all the above figures are right-wing lies ...

Dostoevsky rightly identified Communists, Socialists, etc as damnable Gnostic irreligionists. Solzhenitsyn added clarity when he described them as Gnostic pagan Manichaean dualists. By this he meant they see themselves as Morally Pure,the 'Enliightened' (the ones who KNOW), hence the absolute force of good waging war against forces of absolute evil in pursuit of a world made perfect because cleansed of evil by the Morally Pure. The highly esteemed political scientist Eric Voegelin identified various Gnostic movements of the 20th century: Progressivism, Leftism, Marxism, Communism, Positivism, Socialism, Theosophy, Masonry, God is dead theology, and many more.

A hallmark of ancient and modern Gnosticism is its' inverse exegesis which teaches that Jehovah God is an evil demiurge who has trapped divine sparks, essence, or spirit within evil physical bodies while Lucifer (Satan) is the good angel who liberated primordial humans by bringing them enlightenment---you are god.. Within Marxist Communism many early revolutionaries called themselves Lucifer, Satan, and other devilish names in honor of the 'liberator' who seized for himself a kingdom. Helena Blavatsky identifies this 'liberator' as the one true god.

Excellent. Thank you.

Good that Hitler was included. We must not allow the Left of today to define Nazism as somehow right wing.

Antifa admits they are all about killing those who they perceive to be fascists. How are they any different than Stalin, et al, and why do they not believe the numbers?

Well, these people surely did inspire the New York Times.

Antifa arose in 1930s Germany as a competitor to the other socialists, the Nazis, who also had a paramilitary faction and used violence and intimidation against people. In the rivalry between Antifa and Nazi in Germany, however, the Nazis won out and now barely exist.

It should not be surprising that Antifa uses the same tactics as the Nazis. They were competing for the same followers.

They are no different; they simply and completely believe they will do it the “right way”, which is exactly what their idols said before they assumed power ...

They do not believe the numbers because they cannot admit they are the same sort of people and will do the same things as their predecessors, and because those predisposed to Socialism and Anarchy are self-deluding by their natures.

And not to forget the other victims in smaller purges. Pol Pot in Cambodia, for one.

Plus, the Soviets killed others in smaller numbers.

In the early 1920s, Mongolia asked for aid from the USSR to push out the Chinese occupiers. To this day, the Mongolians still regard the Soviets as heros for this assistance. Yet the Soviets clamped down on practice of religion. As part of the religious purge, they invaded a monastery where approximately 1200 Buddhist monks lived and ran a school for nomadic children. They arrested many of the monks and executed 200 of them. The other monks managed to escape. The communists then destroyed the monastery.

I have stood in the ruins of that monastery and regarded the bullet holes in partial walls. It was a very sobering experience.

The large scale murders have been recorded. But how many small scale mass murders like that of the Mongolian monks did Communists commit that are overlooked by history?

“... But how many small scale mass murders ...”


Or an entire detachment of Russian linguists (recording US military communications) that were machine gunned by Spetsnaz troops for the crime of listening to US music while on duty? A horrific scene, especially on a pitch dark night in the middle of some East German woods on a mountain top.

They do believe the numbers.
They accept them as necessary.
They just won’t admit it for obvious reason.
(Some do admit, in unguarded moments.)

I have heard that the Mongolian dictator who ruled at the same time as Stalin, Choibalsan, may have killed one tenth of his country’s people.

If the toll in human misery isn’t appalling enough to condemn communism, look at its environmental track record. the Aral Sea, Chernobyl, decimated forests in Siberia, over-farmed tracts in the Ukraine ...

Not exactly fond stewards of Mother Earth.

What’s the difference between Nazi socialism and communist socialism?

No one says true Nazism has never been tried.
