"We really are overdue for some coverage of Communism's attrocities. We get non-stop coverage of the Nazi's attrocities, but with communism, the subtle message is that communism was fine, but was hijacked by evil individuals like Stalin and Pol Pot.

People need to be reminded that communism was inherently evil-- that is impossible to give communism a go without taking away individual freedom and turning a nation into a prison. The absolute authority of the State necessarily invites tyrants, either individual tyrants like Stalin, or tyrannical oligarchies."

Right on, Montfort. Nazism is always the whipping boy. Not that the Nazis don't deserve it, but can somebody tell me why red Communism is given a pass?

Because damned intellectuals dug it?
