I just heard about this Memorial to the Victims (100,000,000) of Communism.
Seems fitting on President Reagan's Birthday to announce this....and I've seen it nowhere else.
It's to be in Washington, DC, and have a large statue of President Reagan.
TOPICS: Announcements; Constitution/Conservatism; Foreign Affairs; Miscellaneous; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: communism; reagan

I've always heard: a hundred million deaths, a billion ruined lives. And the last stronghold is American University faculties.

This is a great idea. I suggest as part of the memorial, there be a "Wall of Shame" in which various categories of names be carved. There can be Communist party criminals (Lenin, Stalin, Mao, the usual) with tallies of the number of deaths for which they are responsible; and then there can be lists of Communists who tried to undermine western society, Communist sympathizers who worked with them, and dupes who unwittingly furthered their cause by falling for their insane propaganda.
It never ceases to amaze me that the idiots who were so wrong on everything, like Mary McGrory, Anthony Lewis, and Richard Cohen, are still out there pontificating as if they are legitimate thinkers. They are not, they are buffoons at best and supporters of evil at worst, and the harm they caused should be acknowledged.

The Museum of Communism, Bryan Caplan curator."Never again." The tyranny and atrocities of Nazi Germany have been justly condemned by world opinion for over 50 years. But it is only recently that Communist despotism has begun to receive remotely similar attention.
It would be a great tragedy if Communism disappeared from the earth without leaving behind an indelible memory of its horrors. Communism was not essentially about espionage, or power politics, or irreligion. Rather it was a grand theoretical synthesis of totalitarianism... a theory which millions of people experienced as the practice of murder and slavery.
The roots of Communism lie squarely in the works of the philosopher Karl Marx. But at the same time, as we shall see, the tradition of Czarist absolutism also became an important source of Communist inspiration. The first exhibit to open explores the Marxist and Czarist origins of the Communist movement.

"I've always heard: a hundred million deaths, a billion ruined lives. And the last stronghold is American University faculties." Try 1.2 billion in China and Tibet. And Cuba... And Venezula.... Communism is not dead. It's alive and kicking.
