Adolf Hitler has become the embodiment of human evil, yet he wasn?t the biggest killer of the last century. He didn?t even come in second. He was third, behind two communists, Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-Tung
Hitler?s Nazis killed about 31 million people between 1933 and 1945. Stalin killed twice that many, and Mao killed just under 38 million. When you add in the murders attributable to Lenin , Pol Pot , Tito and the remaining communist dictators of Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America, communism claimed way more than 100 million lives, more than nine times the number killed by Nazism. These estimates vary, but it?s generally accepted now among historians that communism took FAR more lives than Nazism
I'm not trying to minimize the atrocities of the Holocaust. My point is that communism also killed hundreds of millions this last century; it enslaved, and continues to enslave, billions more.
Think of what the human race might have accomplished had billions of us not been imprisoned by communism but been free to explore, stretch and reach our potential through competition, innovation and creativity.
Right now, North Korea is imposing a famine on its own people, with resulting deaths estimated in the millions. Communist regimes continue to hold captive the people of China, Laos, Vietnam and Cuba. Human rights abuses abound in all five countries.
So why is communism considered trendy? Can you imagine a nightclub that has Nazi symbols all over it? Why are there nightclubs/t-shirts etc....that are considered cute that have communist symbols all over the place?
The Nazis were amatures compared to the communists. Why do we still find communism acceptable?
