Yes he did. Go back and study the history of the Soviet Union and Stalin.

Do your homework before you say some more silliness.

I am no expert. But I do have some understanding of the history of the USSR. Stalin’s people did commit mass atrocities. The Katyn Massacre, for example. But to my knowledge, there were no camps where arriving inmates were routinely sorted out, and then many were immediately put to death.

Sure, many inmates were worked to death. And some individuals were quickly executed. But to equate a gulag camp with Auschwitz is, I think, a mistake.

Anyhow, I’m not quite sure why we are arguing about this. My point was that I simply don’t think all - or even most - leftists want to see us in death camps. You are, of course, free to disagree with that.

And I won’t call your counter-argument “silliness”. I don’t like to insult my fellow FReepers, even though I might strongly disagree with them. I prefer civil discussions. And heck, sometimes I might even learn something that way.
