Cuba is even worse now. Way to go, obama.

Cuba is still the same: TORTURED DISSIDENT GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE IN CUBA

What is a hunger strike? And does it hurt or kill you?

 

[GLASNOST]

For those clueless about Communism, here is an Introduction by Paul Hollander; it is from his book From the Gulag to the Killing Fields.

And what makes you think that Stalin and Pol Pot were representatives of Communism? Are Nixon, Johnson, Bush Baby and Reagan representatives of Democracy?

Yes

One stops eating; yes it hurts you and if continued long enough, it will kill you.

This is so unfair. This forces every human to eat. Worse, it punishes them if they don't eat. How long can prisoners survive if they don't get any food at all?

The hunger strike is begun by the prisoner, voluntarily to protest something. This man has begun and ended many such; here is a recent report:

The Red menace is still not entirely on the ash heap of history, so here are some reminders of past and present victims of that totalitarian horror.

I looked through the web site, and am glad it exists.

However, I don't think that kind of communism will rise again. The biggest problem is those countries who refuse to come to terms with their past and condemn what happened, Russia and China especially. China even still has the Communist Party in power, although it is largely capitalist.

The problem is especially people who want to keep certain elements, in particular the authoritarian elements of communism, and there are many such people in former Eastern Bloc countries. They're mostly older though.

Of course there is still North Korea. Venezuela is in turmoil and probably won't last long. Cuba is super poor.

And various lunatics like the Nepalese and Peruvian Maoists. I don't think their influence can spread much.

But Skull is right, in that even in the European Union, communist circles are in the center of power, power brokers.

not victims of Communism, they are that of Capitalism, which stood in the way of every Communist state and sabotaged their progress.

That's fucking hilarious!!!

They write about Communism, although Communism was not in History. It's funny.

It's a defensive mechanism. It keeps people fearful of Marx. It's pathetic.

Communism is the most progressive ideology and humanity will come to it. It is stupid to claim this ideology because of some criminals and idiots who came in power.
When speaking about victims of communism why don’t you mention about victims of capitalism?

Communism has more achievements in fact and many of them are those you have in capitalist way of living.

All those victims you’re speaking about are not victims of communism but victims of opposition between different systems.

Desperation to support a failed ideology.

Communism as ideology hasn’t failed.

If you compare world of mid 20 century and today you can find a lot of steps made by humanity towards communism.

Failed spectacularly, every time it has been attempted on a large scale. Anything coming anywhere close to it has been nothing but a disaster of death, oppression, deprivation, and loss of freedom. It is a stupid idea that disregards human nature. It has never worked and it will never work. Only irresponsible, self-important, naval-gazers who care nothing for human life even pretend to advocate for what is essentially evil.
