Soviet extermination during the civil war by the Red Army: 5 - 7 million

Holodomor : 10-25 million

Stalinist purges through the 1930's: 20-35 million: No one will ever know. When census takers in the late 30s came up with a total population proving a massive decline, they were purged and executed. Their replacements came up with a more 'appropriate' population number.

Execution of 'troublesome' conquered peoples post-WW2 (eg Katyn) ~ 1 million

Other communist states:

China: Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, post revolution purges 70- 100 million

North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia: ~10 million

East European states ~ 1 million

Latin America: 500000

Africa: 2 - 3 million

Afghanistan ~2million

As stated in "The New KGB" by William R. Corson and
Robert T. Crowley:

"There is no dispute about the enormity of Hitler's
Holocaust. But it is equally important to be as aware
of the accomplishments of the Soviet secret police, which
brought death to at least four times as many Russians,
poles, Jews, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Japanese,
Koreans, Chinese, Gypsies, and Romanians (among others)
as Hitler did in his eleven years as a leader of the
'1,000-year Reich."

History is clear that in 1939, Stalin and Hitler were allies
against the free people of Europe. They were both, by then
accomplished killers, even though Stalin led the score in
victims tortured, starved, and massacred. Each created
panic and chaos throughout Europe. Each produced millions
of refugees and homeless. Each expanded and built concentration
camps in which millions of innocent victims would perish.
Both were set on their conquests. The two dictators used the
same methods to deal with their domestic opposition - terror.

Stalin and Hitler escaped retribution by dying without having
been brought to justice. While half of the criminals, the
Nazis, have been pursued all over the world for their crimes,
the other half, the communist criminals, were allowed to go
free. They were, in effect, given tacit permission to
continue the operation of their concentration camps, to expand
their draconian systems to include psychiatric wards, thereby
raising torture, suppression, and murder to a science. The fact
that the process persisted was vividly disclosed to the
free world by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his book, "The Gulag
Archipelago".

David E. Springer, American lawyer stated:

"At all times, vigilance is the price of liberty. We must
remain vigilant because while it might be us today, it
will be some other group down the road 20 years from now.
The measure of our society over history is our fidelity to
our principles. We must remind our government and our people to
remain faithful to those principles or otherwise our society,
like so many in the past, will be swept on the ash heap of
history."

cont'd ...

Joseph Sobran expressed a similar opinion in The Washington
Times, April 23, 1985 (although ages ago is still relevant
today). Mr Sobran stated that:

"Hitler, it is well to remember, was only one of the
practitioners of the century's most ghastly innovations...and
he was not even the worst. Lenin preceded him in numbers;
Stalin and Mao killed far more people... Communism has proved
a far more potent and persistent evil than Nazism, which was
a brief flare-up by comparison...But this generation, my
generation, the generation that was spared the experience of
Hitler, has no right to denounce "the Holocaust" as long as we
shut our eyes to the holocaust in progress."

Yes Foxy,

As I said 1917 was a disaster for humankind. But sympathisers have worked assiduously over the years to sanitise the ideology such that these great crimes of the 20th century remain either unknown to the majority of people or the vile extent downplayed.

Even at the time of the deaths we had people like the Webbs, GB Shaw and the despicable Walter Duranty hiding the truth. And recently we've see the New York Times providing a series of articles about the 100 years but avoiding (to date) any real examination of the various holocausts but pronouncing that communism gave women better orgasms!

This is one of the reasons we see the same mistakes happen again and again and why many people continue to beleive Marxism is the answer. Remember when many of Australia's 'best and brightest' were lauding the communist take-over in Venezuela? They're not so laudatory these days!

The saddest thing for me is to see ignorant but self-righteous kids and young adults turning up to anti-Nazi rallies in the US wearing Che t-shirts. Morons all.

Dear mhaze,

Thank You for that. My family experienced communism first-hand.
Family members were brutally murdered, others sent to
the Gulags. I'm familiar with GB Shaw telling everyone
how great the Soviet Regime was (when he visited there and
was given the VIP treatment). He was of course only shown
what they wanted him to see.

Education is the best answer for young people. And today there
are so many films and books available. But is our education
system doing a good job? I'm not so sure.
