Equally eerie are the excesses which Stalin was driven to by the fundamental flaws of his plan which presage the excesses described by Democrat candidates as they promise to take away your hamburgers with your liberties.
The left does not change, whether it is the murderous terror of the French Revolution or the murderers of Pol Pot, the end is always in blood.

It’s also worth noting how much the Democrat party has changed in the past 30 years or so. When Jimmy Carter became president, I did not fear for the Republic. I did not fear for my freedoms.
Now, should Bernie or Warren or Beto get it, it’s Katie bar the door.
“...the eerily similar rationales advanced by today’s climate change warriors and the doomsday scenario which motivated Stalin to begin his murderous first five-year plan.”
Absolutely spot on.
Under a profit-motivated capitalist system, needs are identified & met over time by naturally evolving technological advances, and, in turn, prosperity for ever-increasing numbers of people evolves out of those technological advances.
Under tyrannical communism, what’s working now is evil because the communist overlords say it is, and must be immediately disallowed, in order to seize control of the means of production, shift gears & forcibly superimpose immediate utopian solutions on a future which ironically is made far worse by those solutions.
The communist plan is to kill the people in order to save them.
Exactly.
From the French Revolution onwards, the left has been all about killing; the death toll of leftism, from the French Revolution onwards, is probably about a billion people.
