Well, I am here to help with that.


Poll: Millennials desperately need to bone up on the history of communism

The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, citing survey results released on Monday, blames widespread ignorance for the relatively positive views millennials have toward socialism and communism.

Of the 2,300 Americans polled by YouGov, 80% of baby boomers and 91% of the elderly agree with the statement that “communism was and still is a problem” in the world today. Millennials? Only 55%.

This should help with that ignorance gap, Safe Zoners.

Thus we have delimited crimes against civilians as the essence of the phenomenon of terror. These crimes tend to fit a recognizable pattern even if the practices vary to some extent by regime. The pattern includes execution by various means, such as firing squads, hanging, drowning, battering, and, in certain cases, gassing, poisoning, or "car accidents"; destruction of the population by starvation, through man-made famine, the withholding of food, or both; deportation, through which death can occur in transit (either through physical exhaustion or through confinement in an enclosed space), at one's place of residence, or through forced labor (exhaustion, illness, hunger, cold).

Periods described as times of "civil war" are more complex—it is not always easy to distinguish between events caused by fighting between rulers and rebels and events that can properly be described only as a massacre of the civilian population. Nonetheless, we have to start somewhere.

The following rough approximation, based on unofficial estimates, gives some sense of the scale and gravity of these crimes:
U.S.S.R.: 20 million deaths
China: 65 million deaths
Vietnam: 1 million deaths
North Korea: 2 million deaths
Cambodia: 2 million deaths
Eastern Europe: 1 million deaths
Latin America: 150,000 deaths
Africa: 1.7 million deaths
Afghanistan: 1.5 million deaths

The international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power: about 10,000 deaths

The total approaches 100 million people killed.

No, they are not. They are embracing American values and rejecting the far and alt rights.

It is not "American values' to corrupt the Department of Justice, put Americans at risk of terrorist attacks, humiliate "The Greatest Generation" when they try to drive to a rally, turn the media into a hate machine, demonize a candidate with lies and smear campaigns, pander to Hispanics and Blacks with false promises, turn the DNC into a private celebration, destroy evidence for a FBI investigation, offend and frighten people enjoying Constitutional freedom of religion, destroy the environment, and lastly assume that Americans are uneducated deplorables. Hillary is a Hitler.

WOW!: Talk about irrational liberal conspiracy theory!: "Millennials need learn the whole truth of it so that they understand our far right and alt right's alliance with the Russia will mean sedition charges."

Many in the younger generation may understand the political-academic concepts behind Marxism & its notions of communism, but the Totalitarian way it was practiced in the Soviet era is not the same, and the misery caused by Soviet rulers is likely not understood by the newer generations.

However, when the top 1% in the USA own & run much/most of the country, it is not surprising that extremists at the other end vent frustration.

Billboards Against Communism Appear in New York's Times Square - Breitbart

Many people, especially in America, are under the mistaken impression that communism is a dead issue in the world today. But the folks at Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation want to remind us all that one in five human beings still live under this oppressive system and they have just launched a billboard campaign in New York’s Times Square to do just that.

The group launched the campaign because they believe people need to re-awaken to the dangers of this inhuman system as well as its destructive legacy. Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation also hopes to point out that support for communism is once again spreading across the world especially among people in colleges and universities right here in the U.S.

In exclusive comments to Breitbart News, Executive Director Marion Smith said, “The stories of 100 million victims are being overlooked and ignored while we now open up relations with regimes that killed them, such as the Castros’ in Cuba.”
