BS. Sounds good on the surface as with all good rhetoric it brings to mind visions of falling red soldiers and the executions of dicators.
When you get down to the reality of it, and realize that it might be your unarmed neighbor drug out of his house for holding the wrong beliefs, or a pretty coed who naively bought into the socialist agenda who's murdered in a secret warehouse, then suddenly this business of killing communists isn't quite as attractive.
The reality never lives up the propaganda.
Having been born and lived under communism, boo friggin' hoo. When Communists show a respect for human rights, property, and life in general, then I'll accord them the same.
Yeah, and living as a human skeleton being worked to death in some political re-education camp sucks even worse.
Stop excusing communists. "Oooh, they're people like you and me!"
Yes, they're people, very *bad* people that will happily stick you in a gulag if you ignore them and they get powerful enough.
Yep, tho Machiavelli covered all that quite a few centuries ago. Personally, while I like pretty coeds, the naive ones that want to take my personal property deserve the fate they get as they put their grubby fingers on other's belongings (by supporting the ideology).
The commies got what they deserved, and, while not pretty, it was far better than what Communists would have done. Trust me, I know, I grew up in that world.
