Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, monsters. We can add a few names, Che, Berman, Ulbricht, Honecker. But Communism changes and, GASP!, grows. We are now building a Utopia, without naming it Communism, having learned the lessons, the Obama’s would tell you, if they were honest, and I’d bet that their guru, that guy from the neighbourhood Bill Ayers, would admit openly. Obama is like the later Soviet Communists building Communism “with a human face”, and idea that even the Soviets outgrew. But not the American academics.
Recall also that the monsters as Hannah Arendt observed at Eichmann’s trial can be quite ordinary, and such are Hillary and Obama.
But what are people like Obama’s parents and grandparents or Pete Seeger, who worshipped those monsters knowing, or at least having been told, they were monsters?
Reminds me of the death of Trotsky - his attacker did him in with a blow to the head.
