The goal of socialism is communism”. Vladimir Lenin.
Back in the 60s I frequented a diner owned by a Greek immigrant(is there any other kind of diner owner). My friends and I thought we were intellectual and we’d talk politics sometimes. “You like communism?” He said once. Being open minded and oh so ‘smart’ we’d say ‘‘no…not particularly...just discussing different political types “. He’d then explain “ you know what I did with communists in Greece? I take a machine gun and bop bop bop bop bop bop bop. I kill them. They are murdering pigs. Animals. . I shoot them all dead “. We thought he was funny and a little nuts. We were after all smart middle class young know it alls. I wish I knew where to find him now. I’d shake his hand and tell him how right he was and how ignorant, towards the realities of what those people really are, we were.
