All Totalitarians are evil bastards.

Communists, Marxists, Socialist, Progressives, Fascists, Nazis (yes, they were the National Socialists) All Are Staist and Leftist.

Create nothing, only lie, steal, subject, destroy and murder.

They all resort to murder when it is necessary to stay in power.

The difference, the Nazis filmed their atrocities, and Communists didn’t.

Communists....Nazis...Fabians...Socialists...(and a few others)

None of these apples have fallen far from the tree...Marxism

Statist power is as statist power does...(To rephrase a famous observation.)

[Carbonsteel]

Communism, Racism, and Nazism were all derived through various forms of Marxism. I wonder if Karl Marx would have known that his philosophies would one day result in the greatest human suffering man has ever known?

What I don't understand is why Communist atrocities are whitewashed, while the Nazi's are forever demonized in our history books?

Seems the author leaves the question unanswered. This is understandable because the very exercise has a brutalizing effect on the conscience; in order to address it, you first have to settle on what metric to use in defining evil.

Are we talking about body count, rate of liquidations, attitude towards your victim, criteria for selecting them? Once that issue is settled, there are other moral and logistical questions to address such as system longevity, technology used, etc.

Overall, I give the nod to Communism but suspect each person will see it differently.

It’s a distinction without a difference. They were both socialism with a view toward world domination. Throw in maoism and you’ve got the hat trick.

[Oratam]

Communism, hands down. Tragically, too many people—influential people—are still rooting for Communism to “work.” Therefore, it gets a pass.

Both are virulent forms of socialism,
so this is a comparison of very like things.

Both should have been stangled in the crib,
as Churchill said of communism.

These are spiritual fights manifested in the material world.
Jesus Christ is coming back and going to make it right.
