Communists believe they are the only ones who know the "real truth" and how to make people "happy". Such sophistry results in the silencing of other opinions. The egalitarian Utopia has from the beginning and still serves, as a cover for these communist maniacs of terror to destroy their nations’ economies and to torture to death millions of people. Every instance of the building of communism ended in violence and terror, because the idea of communism itself is Totalitarianism. The argument that the communist ideal is humane and those mistakes arise in its implementation is highly erroneous. Ideas of how to realize communism in practice have existed for about 150 years, but attempts to put it into practice have resulted in violence and terror. History shows not a single example of a prosperous country ruled by communists. On the contrary, as soon as communists come to power, usually by coercion or coup, their ideals of equality and brotherhood degenerate into the doctrine of the state’s interest being superior to all other interests. The communist doctrine unleashes intolerance towards non-communist opinion, violations and restrictions of human rights, discrimination against different social and ethnic groups, and finally mass killings. The only institutions that have functioned perfectly in communist countries are prisons and concentration camps, but no communist country has ever produced enough food and consumer goods for their people. Communism is The Greatest Enemy of Human Freedom.
