That's an average of less than 100 [deaths from the inquisition] a year. Stalin knocked off that many kulaks before breakfast.

That is a low estimate. Authoritative sources estimate anywhere from 20 million to 60 million Russians were killed as a direct result of Stalinistic "purges" during Stalin's rule, primarily in the 30's but extending onto during the war and beyond. This does not include the 20-30 million killed as a direct or indirect result of WWII. So if we estimate a smaller conservative number and figure on at least a million people a year for the time period when Stalin ruled we can do some math. One million people killed by the communists a year in Russia is 2,740 a day. Breaking that up into four periods -- before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner, and before bed -- gives us 685 per period. So the real number is probably much higher than 685 people that Stalin killed before breakfast for each day of his rule. Ann only estimated less than a sixth of that.

Such was communism -- the political system the Democrats of today worship. Keep that in mind come election day.

But when you look at by the number that Soviet communists killed per minute, it's less than 2 per minute. It doesn't sound so bad.




























(THAT'S TWO EVERY FRICKIN MINUTE!)
