In a perfect world, any professed Marxist or Communist would be summarily executed to remove a threat to humanity.

We have statues honoring these mass murdering ilk here.

This could not have happened. After all, the New York Times did not report on it at the time...

/s (of course)

[Common Sense 101]

This can’t possibly be true - the New York Times said Stalin was a great leader, just misunderstood.

[SharpRightTurn]

Let’s have Bernard Sanders dig coal in freezing weather with his bare hands for a couple of months or fight others to eat out of garbage cans in Venezuela for a couple of months. Then he can regale us with another one of his lectures on the wonders of socialism.

[P.O.E.]

Stalin, Hitler, etc. could not have done this all by themselves. It took legions who believed in an idea.

And there was a few who were American boys who’s POW camp they over ran during WW2.

Took em all back to the gulags and that was the last anyone heard of them.

To this day, NOT ONE shyster politician will admit that happened...and that included Ike and his ilk.

Should have dropped the A bomb on them commie bastards before they got it.

[McGavin999]

College kids need to be taught history. They think communism is great? Let them look at reality

[Leaning Right]

A saying I read years ago: After Lenin comes Stalin.

In other words, it really doesn’t matter who the first leader in a communist revolution is. After that first leader is gone, the second leader will be a Stalin.

This is something that today’s starry-eyed communists refuse to admit.

"Prisoners worked in the most extreme climates, facing temperatures of -20C (-4F),..."

It gets far colder than that in any part of Siberia.

Trudging through mud in sub-zero temperatures

Ummmmmmmm. What?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I've been reading a book entitled After Stalingrad about the fate of German POWs. The Soviet regime was every bit as abominable as Hitler's. The hammer and sickle should be reviled as fully as the swastika, and yet lefties wave it in the street, loud and proud.

[cgbg]

They only killed straight white males--nothing to see here...

The MSM.

[laweeks]

If anybody is interested, one of the best books on the horrors of the Gulags is called “Alexander Dolgun’s Story: An American in the Gulag”, an incredible true story of this American citizens trapped in Stalin’s Gulag.

1st Gulag Prisoner: “how long was your sentence”
2nd “20 years”
1st “For what?”
2nd “Nothing”
1st “that can’t be true, for nothing they give you 10 years”

Ahhhhhhhh...Socialism!!

Ain't it grand!!

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

[Vlad The Inhaler]

This is the future our own leftists envision for the rest of us.

At least those of us they would leave alive.

[rlmorel]

It is all there in “The Gulag Archipelago”.

Yet we still have many who have affection for Putin, who was part of that entire police state that sent millions of Soviets to their deaths in these camps.

But, hey...that’s all in the past now.
