The Second Amendment is saving us from annihilation.
We knew a lot about the gulag before 1981. One Day in the Life was published in the 60’s and I saw the movie in the 70’s.

By W.E.B. DuBois
Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature. He was simple, calm and courageous. He seldom lost his poise; pondered his problems slowly, made his decisions clearly and firmly; never yielded to ostentation nor coyly refrained from holding his rightful place with dignity. He was the son of a serf but stood calmly before the great without hesitation or nerves.
