6. Of interest here is that, as I did in the OP, the author draws the similarities between the actions of the KGB and the Nazis.
" I had been in Austria and had visited the Nazi concentration camp at Mauthausen near the city of Linz. What struck us after our tour of the KGB headquarters in Vilnius, Lithuania was just how similar the Nazi and Soviet methods had been.
Indeed, in Mauthausen were the same steps and stages of arrest, psychological terror, interrogation and torture, murder through a trapdoor behind a meter stick, and the removal of gold fillings.
The only difference between the German National Socialist and the Soviet communist techniques was that the Nazis threw the dead bodies into ovens to reduce them to ash and bone chips before disposal. The Soviets simply discarded the bodies in mass graves. " Communism's Legacy: Tyranny, Terror, and Torture | Richard M. Ebeling
How dangerous to be an enemy of the Democrats.....or 'an enemy of the people."
No one doubts that Russian and Germany under Stalin and Hitler were examples of totalitarianism and these despots had no respect for human rights or human lives. To equate such evils with Socialism and Democrats is absurd and dishonest and typical of a thread posted by PoliticalChic.
"No one doubts that Russian and Germany under Stalin and Hitler were examples of totalitarianism..."
Like the proverbial blind squirrel, you've finally found an acorn!
Now....let's remember that your demigod, Franklin Roosevelt was the reason that totalitarianism survived WWII.
Without the bigot and wanna-be dictator, FDR, his BFF, Joseph Stalin would have gone the way of Nicolae Ceausescu ....
