The only problem I have with their treatment was that their deaths did not involve more suffering than it did.
Misguided idealists or not, what they did was pure treason that potentially could have ended with their neighbors and even their own children being incinerated in thermonuclear fire.
Those who insist on defending this Communist trash and their evil deeds believe that there should be no reprisals at all against those who would sell us all into slavery or death, it seems.
In my own life, I give Progressives, Socialists, and Communists no quarter. In debate I loudly get in their faces and scream about the 100 million murders that were committed in the name of their so-called "idealism", and insist that they justify the slaughter. Not one of them can. It's always the same old "but true Communism has never been tried, it's a humane system that got corrupted by power-hungry men" pack of excuses.
This is countered with the accusation that their "humane system" has no checks or balances to keep the Communist state in line, and that those who seek absolute power will always gravitate to positions of leadership in such a system. In other words, their "humane system" is in fact a recipe for mass murder.
Usually by this point in the conversation the Red is either becoming frightened at my vehemence and wrath, or is getting angry enough to throw a punch. Either way suits me fine. Either way it goes, I assert my domination over them, and send them scurrying back to the coffeehouse to fantasize about their "perfect utopia for the downtrodden", while the rest of us work on bettering our own lives through hard work and sacrifice.
/trying to quit smoking and feeling the righteous anger! Grrrrr!
Ditto for me. G-d Bless You.
