I have been pointing out for years how the west has completely omitted the atrosities the communists committed during their reign of terror.
Think of all the propaganda you have heard over your lifetime about how bad the Nazi's were... now think hard... think real hard about how much you heard about how the communists killed TEN TIMES as many innocents as the Nazi's..
Think about that for a minute.
In my opinion, that is no mere oversight.
If you fight a war to contain or stop evil and win it ... and then later let that very evil take over at home during the peace afterwards... did you really win?
Yes, the same Americans who believed during the Cold War era that anti-Communists were worse than ‘progressives’ — many ‘news’ reporters and editors, and most of academia — have continued to believe in their truly anti-American perspective of how the world “should” work. So we now have a generation where today’s professors were the students of these anti-anti-Communists.
So Orwellian speech, politically correct control of language and thought, and total assault on morality are accepted as everyday life.
And now we have a country where most voters under 50 have no idea what a free country really means, and what ‘communist threat’ really means.
“Most people/voters are too young to recognize the transformation that has taken place. They have lived it day by day as ‘normal.’”
More of an ebb and flow than a transformation. Communists have had power for over a century in the US.
Have you noticed no movies have been made of the Iron Curtain period.
