From the article:
"I believe that if the world had reacted appropriately to Stalin's genocidal policies, Hitler would not have been emboldened to carry out his "final solution". Stalin and his henchmen starved, murdered, raped, tortured with impunity. No wonder Saddam Hussein admired him and modeled his own regime after his idol - Stalin."

Interesting point, I never thought of it in that way.

The twentieth century was the bloodiest century in recorded human history. NOTHING can even come close to compare.

The butcheries committed by communist governments has been very well covered up by our own government, our own culture, and by our own historians. The democrats in the media, who were obviously communist sympathizers, did an excellent job in keeping things quiet. I have to give credit to the democrats, they are still doing a very good job in covering up the greatest mass murder known to man. It amazes me to what lengths they will go to excuse, hide, and obfuscate all to cover up for a failed ideology.

I remember in high school in 1988, taking a class about communism. At that time, the thinking was that the Soviet Union and/or China could very well be mortal enemies to the U.S., so it would be a good idea for American students to at least know something about the potential enemy. The class was only one semester long. Throughout the entire class, not one mention was ever made about the numbers of deaths involved in the human catastrophe called communism. Not one mention. It bothers me greatly that no one even has an idea that Stalin killed more human beings than Hitler. Nobody these days out in the mainstream seems to know or care. Every time I see some collage aged twit wearing a "Che" shirt, I view it as offensive as someone wearing a shirt with a swastika. These kids don't know what it is that they're supporting. It's just simply disgraceful.

Raphael Lemkin, who coined the word genocide and was the individual most responsible for the International Genocide Treaty, would have agreed. In fact it was the basis of his effort to criminalize genocide (which doesn't equate with nor require the murder of civilians). It's a crime which has an impact beyond the borders and time of the perpetrator. His work in this area dates from the early 1930's and was motivated by both the Ukraine and Armenia. You can find an assortment of his writings here
