>>Did you ever wonder why we hear so little about the collapse of socialism, much less the historical crimes of socialism, on television and in the press? Why there are few if any classes in universities on the subject? Why the topic is not brought up on talk shows or the evening news? It's not just because it's old news. Plenty of old news is held up before our eyes regularly. The glories of FDR and how he supposedly saved us from the depression, for example. For that matter, the 4000 killed by the medieval Inquisition has a greater public presence today than the 100 million victims of socialism. The reason is quite simple: the Left doesn't want to talk about it. The establishment doesn't want to talk about it. And especially, the government doesn't want to talk about it. All these people and institutions fear that we will learn the real lessons of this period of history. One lesson we learn is that socialism doesn't work. Once the regimes were swept away, we were confronted with impoverished and filthy countries populated by undernourished, sickly, and politically bitter and often morally warped people. They really did create the New Soviet Man.<< lewrockwell.com Was it you who posted this link earlier in the week? A good read.
