A crime is a crime, whether perpetrated in the name of Stalinism, fascism,
capitalism or democratic socialism. However, although it is today, for
instance, popular in Croatia to refer to the Bleiburg massacre (where Nazi
collaborationists and some civilians were mercilessly killed) as an ostensible
manifestation of the “criminal” nature of the Yugoslav social revolution
itself, it is ignored that capitalism has always been steeped in blood and
crimes, and that following the Second World War “democratic” capitalistic
countries also settled accounts with the defeated in a horrific manner..
Those who are acquainted with the character of American foreign policy
following the Second World War, American military interventions (of various
types and intensities) and the crimes in China, Italy, Greece, the Philippines,
during the Korean War (in which approximately 3 million people perished),
Albania, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Iran, Costa Rica, Syria, Indonesia,
British Guiana, Vietnam (approximately 4 million dead), Cambodia (approximately
600,000 peasants were bombarded prior to the arrival of the Khmer Rouge), Laos,
Haiti, Guatemala, Algeria, Ecuador, the Congo, Brazil, Peru, the Dominican
Republic, Cuba, East Timor, Ghana, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Angola, Zaire,
Jamaica, the Seychelles, Grenada, Morocco, Surinam, Nicaragua, Panama, El
Salvador, Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. (in quite a few of these countries,
several times), this will not be surprising news. Ultimately, many more people
perished in various US bombardments (almost as a
rule, civilians), and it has been demonstrated, for example, that within the
framework of the Indonesian massacres of leftists, the US provided lists of
leftists to be killed to the Indonesian authorities (approximately half a
million leftists perished in Indonesia during this period).
