I'm not all that nostalgic.
If one needs to "remember" the nasty tyranny of Communism, one needs only to look over at modern-day China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Belarus, Venuzuela, Zimbabwe, the FARC in Colombia, the rejuvinated Shining Path in Peru, Aristide, Kofi Annan, the Congressional Black Caucas, Michael Moore, etc., etc., et-f***ing-cetera.
Communism is an ugly,violent wart that never stopped spreading, not even with the collapse of the Soviet Bloc.
I forgot to mention North Korea, an entire nation of millions turned into a squalid graveyard by the repression of it's fanatical communist leaders Kim Ill-Sung and Jong-Ill. Just think: Arafat might be chatting it up with Ill-Sung and Stalin in Hell as we speak...
