-and that Hollywood which still (rightfully) paints Nazis as villians never has a badword even for the likes of Stalin or Lenin---
Soviet is the equal of Nazi, as Mao is the equal of Hitler, and now we have the up and coming Obama who would surpass all the worlds despots, if only he could.
Aided by the Leftists around the world. Sadly if you try to explain to people about the Evil of Communism you get shouted down and then they recite the tired lines about Corporations.
Do an internet search on “Ukraine famine.”
he's never aspired to be anything more than a community organizer, and all he is,is a "community organizer in chief."
he's content to be a tool, and he's been a very effective tool.
There are tons of movies about the Nazi's and HItler, but I can't recall any in recent memory about the evil of communism, the suffering in the USSR, or the heinous crimes of Stalin and others. Why wasn't the Gulag Archipelago ever made into a movie, or documentary series etc. (there was a French documentary, but I'm not aware of an American one)? Why isn't it required reading in high school, or college? Why aren't there movies about the victory of America and the West over the USSR and communism in the cold war?
Recently a Freeper commented that the American left only supported WWII because we were fighting on the same side as the Soviet Union. I think there is probably an element of truth to this.
Uh....could it be because the Historians tasked with sifting through the records actually agreed with and supported what the Soviets were trying to do? Can I get a DUH! from the crowd??
More than an element. When Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were allies, the American left was told by its Kremlin masters to stop criticizing Hitler. After Hitler invaded Russia, FDR’s administration traitors went to work full time.
“Yet he can’t get anyone to house them in a reputable library, publish them, or fund their translation. In fact, he can’t get anyone to take much interest in them at all.”
Wikileaks?
Apparently it's not on Wikileaks' agenda.
I did qualify that by saying “if he could.”
Obama would love to be more than a tool. He is seriously depressed about just being a tool, but he can’t fake his way into being more than a tool, even though he faked his way into the White House.
I thought Putin closed the Soviet archives back in 2001.
Ed Asner claims that Joe Stalin was not that bad a guy; he's just gotten a bum-rap from history.
—and I suppose good old Ed probably feels the same way about Stalin side-kick Lavrenti Berea-—
Where are the conservatives and libertarians? Those groups have people of wealth and they have think tank organizations that publish all kinds of stuff.
Because western academia is still full of communists. Similarly, nazi era documents related to the neo-pagan aspects of nazism have never been translated.
