There are more innocent communists and then there are the Lenin and Stalin's of our history. Communism has cost more lives than any other political ideology or direction in history. What's worse; most of the time, violence from communists is more accepted since they're seemingly "kinder". And, no, before you go there (like people invaribly do); I don't condone violence from nazis, I don't condone violence from anyone at all. So, yes, I dislike communism as much as nazism and I think far left and far right is equally ridiculous in their ideology and that gross polarization of debate is causing us to go nowhere. I suppose you could bomb we with articles and synopsis of alt the horrible thing the far right has done throughout history, but let me save you the trouble; I know about it and I absolutely despise it, but I would liken Stalin to Hitler any day of the week. Some people are able to have two ideas in their head at once and I don't consider myself leaning very much in any direction (although political compasses suggest that I might lean more to the left in certain issues). |
