So, there are varying degrees of communists: Maoists, Leninists, Marxists, Trotskyites, Stalinists, Clintons, Socialists, Democrats, and DUmmies. |
I need more information because I can't tell the difference.

ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, fighting for re-election against a centre-left coalition which includes the hard left, said today communists have a history of boiling babies.
"I have been accused many times of saying communists eat babies," he told a rally of his Forza Italia (Go Italy!) party.
"Go and read the black book on communism and you'll find that under Mao's China they didn't eat babies but they boiled them to fertilise the fields.
"They say we look to the past too much, but they forget that in the opposition there are three parties who proudly call themselves communists."
Mr Berlusconi has often been accused of being obsessed with the "communist threat" in Italy, a country where during the Cold War the communist party was bigger than anywhere else in western Europe.
In the run-up to winning the 2001 election, Berlusconi said: "I can organise a conference in which I will prove communists have really eaten babies and done even worse things."
With the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union, most of the Italian Communist Party transformed itself into the Democrats of the Left, now Italy's main opposition party.
But smaller breakaway communist parties still exist.
The biggest, Communist Refoundation, is likely to poll 6-7 per cent of the vote at the April 9-10 election, opinion polls indicate. Another party, Italian Communists, may get up to three per cent.
Polls put the centre-left bloc, led by former European Commission President Romano Prodi, 4-5 percentage points ahead of Mr Berlusconi's centre-right.
Mao was just upset because all the babies were afraid of that weird mole on his chin.
Kill a commie for mommie
And to think we had people in the media and academia defending these wackos and still do.
Nice little red x. Did they really eat them too?
That Mao! Always practical.
If you have to kill a few million babies, you'd might as well put them to use as fertilizer to help the Five Year plan along.
And it makes good Communist scientific sense to boil them, so there won't be any chance that these politically incorrect babies will spread their germs onto the wheat, and thereby endanger the party cadres who get to eat the wheat, while the peasants starve.
Sorry, it was a Snopes.com picture. Maybe they block it or something.
It comes up fine in my Preview.
Claim: Taiwan's hottest restaurants offer grilled and barbequed fetuses.
Status: False.
Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2001]
Take a look at what happened in the Ukraine in the 1930s. 12 MILLION dead from starvation and summary execution on the theory that if the farmer had grain in the barn he was hiding a lot more, so they took all of what he had on hand and he and his family starved to death, and if he didn't have any grain he was obviously hiding some, so they shot him and his family as counter-revolutionaries. They didn't need to boil babies for fertilizer - there was plenty of fertilizer available.
A must read.
Just finished Anne Applebaums, "Gulag", and Bardach's "Man is Wolf to Man"
Also reccomend "Koba the Dread" and "Harvest of Sorrow."
Yup definitely a great guy, sounds just like the type you'd want to have over during your new year's eve party for a few laughs.
(In your best Foghorn Leghorn voice) ... I's a joke son, don't you get it!
Communism killed hundreds of millions during its reign of terror. Hitler was an amateur by comparison!
"A must read." - I bought it when it first came out a few years ago.
Robert Conquest's "Harvest of Sorrow" noted that for each LETTER in his book 20 people died in the collectivazation famine. His book is 441 pages long.
HOS is the book about which I'm talking. Ruin your whole day.
Yep, but must never be forgotten.
Word I hear is that Burlusconi is walzing into a bloodletting at the upcoming elections. Any insights?
I thought Conquest was unsure about the stats, since a lot of the population decline in the Ukraine could have been war related. The Bolshies obviously didn't keep very good records on their own genocide. 20 million was the total between 1930 and 1950, but dividing it between the war and the famine was problematical. It's been a long time since I read the book, but that's what I recall.
From what I hear, it's not looking good for him.
My apologies. I didn't get the implied /sarcasm tag. :-) Sometimes just don't know for sure.
I can't remember if cannabalism was specifically mentioned in "Mao, The Untold Story"...
but the mention of starvation and caloric depravation (to pay for
export of aid/weapons to other countries) was so high under Mao...
that I wouldn't be shocked if some poor peasants didn't have to resort
to the practice just to survive.
Italy's not already communist like France?
Hard to tell. Depends on who you talk to.
I can't access the site.Is it me?

Communists are bloody communists. End of story!
Yepp,that works.Looks interesting.Thanx

So I was right all along...they all murder their children. |
They're STILL at it! Strange crew...
It is about time we say it over and over again - Hitler only dreamed of killing as many enemies as the enemies commies killed. Everything the left touches shrivels up and dies.
Marking!
You're absolutely right. The Communist candidate in the last election (Kerry) was for killing babies.
And the Communist candidate in the next will be exactly the same!
I don't know what to think Coleus.
I found some messages boards linked off of the Euthanasia Church group's site with recipes for cannibalism.
Young people are prefered. Younger the better.
So do the commies eat people? Fertilize?
They are doing something.
And I would like to go back to being clueless soccer mom now. (I've been saying that for a while though....and I'm still here)
there's a lot of bad news out there, sometimes it's just good to not go near it and take a week or so off.
Such statistics are always nebulous. The wide ranges in possible democide deaths as reported by Rummel is a good example.
I suppose proximate cause mattered little to those caught up in it.
Good for Berlusconi. The young are still ignorant of the glories of communism.
Abortion is worse than Communism. Believe it.
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Pro-Life/Pro-Baby ping list...
Thanks for the ping!
