I am concerned that we're not educating people enough about what the Communists did. That's truly frightening.

Important, too, is that one must not seperate the culture from those in power. Nazi Germany, for example, has been sanitized by revisionists as a state of normal people oppressed by their leadership.

This view is inaccurate and wholly offensive, promoted purely as a political means to smear the Right. Nazi society was the enemy in WW2, and needed to be destroyed as urgently as Hitler's war machine. A hundred "Dresdens" were fully deserved by the time the war broke.

Not many films capture the perverse loonacy German culture. If I might suggest one - the often banned and sex-filled masterpiece "Salon Kitty" gives an excellent depiction of an aristocracy gone mad with fascist dogma.

You are right to generalize and refer to the lump sum of Russians as "the Communists" and similarly consider that which "they did."

Oh, but THOSE weren't REAL Communists!

THEY were Pol Potist-Deviationst Fellow Travelers; or, Stalinist-Deviationist Gulagists; or, Idi Amin-Deviantionist Murderists; or, Castroist Island Paradise-Deviationists; or, Impurist-Maoist Deviationists; or, Deviant Deviational Deviationists, or, just plain DEVIANTS.
