"Hey, you know how you personally murdered a thousand people back in the 60's? Wants to act that out on camera?" "Sure, that sounds awesome!"

[Ben Kenobi]

Oh I forgot, aren't you the moron who once tried to argue that the nazis were actually left wing because they had 'socialist' in the party name?

One espoused a central planned economy. The other was Stalin.

[loinburger]

Right. I have a five letter word for you that sums it up perfectly.

I.S.L.A.M

I wonder why you failed to mention it. Gosh, it wouldn't be at all relevant that Islamists would kill Christians...

You believe that the CIA was funding Islamists so that they could kill Christians? As opposed to the much more realistic (and true) alternative of the CIA funding right-wing death squads to kill Communists?

I don't doubt that some of the so-called Communists were Christians, but that wasn't the stated or actual intent of the purges. Likewise some of those killed in the Holocaust were Christian, but this was generally due to their politics or their homosexuality or another factor and not because of their particular Christian sect.

Why not? They funded the Mujahedeen.

20 percent of the Catholic priests in Poland were executed in the holocaust. Some 6000 priests in total were executed. Catholics were the second highest target for religious persecution (behind the Jews).

lol Catholics were totally targeted more than Jehovah's Witnesses.

Communism is an inherently violent ideology, so if they were actually gun totin' Che wannabes I won't criticize an army for massacring them. Otherwise, no it doesn't.

This is pants on head retarded because it enables Hitleresque rises to power.

Come to power with entirely populist rhetoric.
Pick an enemy.
Call anyone who disagrees with you that enemy.
Profit. (relatively speaking of course)

[MRT144]

That's not what I said, idiot. I said if they were actually guerillas, you can shoot them. I'm sorry if "gun toting che wannabes" wasn't a clear enough suggestion of militancy.

and you take the government's word for it. I am so not surprised at your constant credulousness cretinism.

5999 rapists, boohoo.

[MRT144]

And like, no ****, catholics got killed. It's only ****ing catholic countries that got invaded and their population terrorized. Catholics in Poland? NO! REALLY?!

[molly bloom]

The links I provided state that the purge also targeted enemies of the military, intellectuals, ethnic Chinese, and union members, all under the "communist" label

I'm so glad they stopped putting that on underwear. Just imagine the mistakes made in purges.

I'm sorry, did you trip and your brain accidentally fell out ? They seem to have replaced it with a few dirty hankies, a 'This Space To Let' sign and a series of mash notes to genocide.

[molly bloom]

I don't really care if you buy it. If you want to believe I think it's okie dokie that Indonesia killed a million people, fine, but you should be aware that I don't.

Oh 'fess up and stop looking a total idiot. It's another bit of 20th Century history which didn't take place in Israel or the U.S. so you are officially clueless, just like you were with the implications of The Treaty Of Versailles, southern Africa and so on. Perhaps it would be helpful if you actually went away and did some solid reading.

For about a lifetime.
