What makes Obama and Clinton supporters think this would not happen to them. They rule by fear and they will make examples.

Stalin also tried to build a canal from the Baltic to the Black Sea. He sent hundreds of thousands to die, digging in frozen ground, often without tools. In the end there was nothing but a big weed choked ditch.

I knew a girl from Salekhard. She said that during the commie days there were active coal mines up there, past the Arctic circle. Another girl I knew in Omsk grew up in a city in the Kolyma, also way up north. She said the only way in and out was by aircraft and in the wintertime the stores were often bare. Once the CCCP went belly up, everyone got the heck out.

Joseph Stalin's deadly railway to nowhere

Well, no one died in Buffalo building the light rail, but it goes to the same place.

Stalin was one evil dude

Even sicker, we had people like Walter Duranty (NY Times) who refused to report on Stalin’s atrocities in the 1930’s...that far back we had many in the USA who supported Stalinism...sick

Read Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago” Vols. I-III. It is a tremendous, eye opening, first person account of Stalin’s 700 “destructive” labor camps throughout the Soviet Union, designed for one purpose, death to enemies of the state. Solzhenitsyn himself, an officer is the Soviet Army during the Second World War, made the mistake of criticizing Stalin in a letter home to his family. The KGB reviewed mail of personnel from time to time, came across his letter, and sent him to Siberia, expecting him to die. He survived. Another great book, later made into a movie about the same experience, was “Onr Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich” talk about depressing. A tiresome defender of Christianity and Freedom, who paid his dues and is now residing with his Redeemer. RIP.

Translation: “Railway” = “Railroad” in American English

This rail project is one of many Soviet failures that Eugene Lyons discusses in his book Workers' Paradise Lost: Fifty Years of Soviet Communism. A Balancesheet (New York: Funk & Wagnalls, 1967), a book that came out at the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. Lyons' verdict on the Communist era in Russia--never had so many sacrificed so much for so little.
