"In sum the communists probably have murdered something like 110,000,000, or near two-thirds of all those killed by all governments, quasi-governments, and guerrillas from 1900 to 1987. Of course, the world total itself it shocking. It is several times the 38,000,000 battle-dead that have been killed in all this century's international and domestic wars. Yet the probable number of murders by the Soviet Union alone--one communist country-- well surpasses this cost of war. And those murders of communist China almost equal it."

The travesty in Wisconsin is proof of your point. Those kids don’t have a clue what that is really all about. Mush filled skulls and little Useful Idiots, all in one.

We are a full generation removed from the horrors of communism now.

These folks have NO IDEA what it is they wish for, they’ve just been told by radical lib teachers, and internet whackos how “Cool” a communist world would be.

Like wearing a Che’ shirt, these people haven’t clue.

I had a lib go completely bonkers once when I asked if his Che’ T-shirt meant that he supported the mass murder of innocent people.

11% of the population thinks eating excrement is a good thing. So what does this mean?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..

They voted for 0bama and “Hope and Change” and still like the taste of the crap sandwich.

“They all have the freedom to leave.”

That’s not the problem, they also have the freedom to stay here and work to irritate the rest of us.

Levin was talkin ‘bout that crap on his show today.

There will ALWAYS be that 11% cited in the article. The problem is that the current Rebublican leadership don’t know what to do with goose-poop if it is absolutlely certain to contain a gem.

Levin did a show devoted to compare / contrast between ideology / principle.

Nothing is stopping people from forming a communist commune.

There’s plenty of land, gather a hundred, thousand like minded friends and go ahead.

Those of them that can work hard, bust butt, can give all to those that are without skills, sick, have issues, or are in ‘intellectual’ positions requiring hours of navel gazing, philosophizing. Year after year. It will be fun.

Good luck.

They are right. There was no poor. The people had all the rights. There was true freedom of speech. Life was fair. Not sure why it ended.


After all, the misery was spread around evenly.....except for their elite masters.

Those 11% should move to Cuba, North Korea, or China and give it a try.

I believe it. I once had this chick in one of my masters classes extol to us the virtues of the Cuban healthcare system. She has done an exhange visit there and went on and on about how superior it was to ours ...she was in her late 20’s or so.

Even our slightly liberal professor commented that it was likely that the government was “commanding” the doctors what to do.

She just didn’t get it. Never mind the Cubans swim through shark infested waters to escape their own country ...

Heck, there’s some hope. Isn’t approximately 30% of the American population diehard Democrats? I would expect something like 30% prefer Communism. Of course, none of the 11% ever lived under Communism.

It’s a free country... they should take advantage of that, and move to a communist one.

While we were not paying attention, the Communists have been slowly brainwashing huge swaths of this country — especially among blacks. Maxine Waters is not an anomaly. She reflects that the astonishing success of leftist policies destroying our black populations and brainwashing them into believing their plight is due to capitalism and racism, etc. etc. ad nauseum.

It’s easier to believe you are living in squalor on food stamps in the worst neighborhoods and sending your children to the worst schools because it’s some one else’s fault. Thus, conservatives have been remiss in not waging battle on the ideological front among the segment least likely to vote conservative. You cede more than 10 percent of the population into the enemy camp.

Thus, leftists pursue policies that advance the armies of dependent, brain dead voters to expand their powers.
