  2. True, Commmunist lunatics, of all the different tribes of that diseased dogma, were every bit as monstrous, and often on a greater scale, than what National Socialism. It would be good if their names, and ideology were similarly reviled. Communism isn't a "great idea thast hasn't REALLY been tried", it is an abhorrent, and demonstrably failed system, just like its National Socialist version of Marxism.

  3. That's what idealists forget, especially the idealists from the Left; these monsters are/were human, and often seemed quite normal by the standards of their time. Ordinary people became the thugs of various revolutions, Brown Shirts, Blackshirts, and Pol Pot's torturers, Mao's Red Guard and more.
