Fashion sense By Dr Madsen Pirie in: Politics • 3 Comment(s) Author Archive I saw this rather good T-shirt (hat tip: Swithun Dobson). It does rather sum it up, doesn't it? The Communist era dated roughly from 1918 to 1989, say about 70 years. If you add up all of the murders of their own people done by Communist regimes like those of Stalin, Mao-Zedong and Pol Pot, the total comes to over 100m. If you want a mental image, imagine a line of 100 people, 40 deep on a cliff-top, bulldozed over the edge. That's one day. Now multiply it up for every day for 70 years and you get the number they killed. They claim (the ones who admit it) that it was all done to make a better world. It didn't do that, neither for those who died, nor for anyone else. Those who despair of the modern world should remember what it used to be like. adamsmith.org Shirt found at thoseshirts.com larger picture
