2 It's probably too little, too late, but at least it is something we can point to to explain why we're pissed off.

3 All part of exposing Big Fake.

Could be as little as 1 in 10 regular people waking up to the stagecraft, and the rest takes care of itself.

4 "All exposing big fake lie."

"Die Wehgeschischt is das Weltgericht (World History is the World's Court of Judgement)."

Hence the Left's and sometimes the Right's preoccupation with changing history, or simply blotting it out.

Nothing at all wrong with Holocaust discussion regarding Hitler's slaughter of 6 million Jews. Little however is said about the 20 million Russians starved to death under Stalin. The selective recording of history at its finest.

6 @#4 - We could probably go on and on about Communist "paradises", but I thought I'd toss in Cambodia's Pol Pot, one of many places the idiots on the American Left thought was totally cool.

7 /\ DooDauMan: You are exactly correct in siting Pol Pot's Cambodia as an example.

9 one of many places the idiots on the American Left thought was totally cool.

During the Cold War, at the height of Soviet glory, leftist intellectuals were infatuated with the idea of Communism as the bright, shining future. Soviet propaganda helped sell this idea. When Alexander Solzhenitsyn published The Gulag Archipelago, people were shocked to peek behind the curtain and see the actual workings of communism. Solzhenitsyn was a die-hard Russian nationalist, which meant he could not be ignored on the grounds of being a Western stooge.

Last I looked, on Victims of Communism Day, the death toll stood around 100,000,000 people. That is a lot of eggs down the drain with not much omelette to show for it.

Explaining the popular appeal of a philosophy that has failed so many times is left as an exercise for the reader. Me, I think it is a scaling problem. Something that works for family-sized or tribal bands does not work for nation states because the connections between people become weaker with distance.

They think: "If I was in charge, we would finally do it right"
