I too have assigned images of Stalin to communism although a few years ago I considered myself, ideologically, a communist so such an image was quickly assigned to Soviet Russia. Although now I'm currently contemplating which ideology I would identify myself as a supporter of, but that's irrelevant. <br /><br />Will you ever do a blog giving an explanation of why you ally yourself with communism? Or ever a blog giving a brief explanation as to what communism "really" is?Vestsaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720810546156166870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-43491095988749368402010-08-12T11:20:58.222-06:002010-08-12T11:20:58.222-06:00It still shocks me whenever I see any of the old M...It still shocks me whenever I see any of the old McCarty era footage of the "commie" hunts. The idea that sanity can be so readily put aside out of fear is vaguely terrifying. <br />If it were possible to overlay the salem witch hunts on the communist hunts of the 1950s I reckon there would be a scary similarity in the proceedings. <br /><br />Communinst is about the only word the right-wingers in the U.S. consider more insulting than atheist; that is, for the ones that draw a distinction between the two in the first place. :)The Celtic Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570106602777322387noreply@blogger.com
