Cough, cough, gag, sputter. Though this last message was dangerously close to
a troll I must reply. Communism seems to be the professional grave digger.
Last time I checked it was close to 100 million and counting.
Yep. Thats a really successful political philosophy. Those numbers are for
their own citizens. C'mon. Communism makes NAZIism look like small potatoes.
Stalin -- 25 million
Mao -- 65 million
and so it goes...
Actually the only difference between NAZIism and Communism is that the NAZIs
tried to eliminate a whole race and the Communists (almost) succeeded in eliminating
a whole class. I guess there were more middle-class citizens to kill than
Jews.
Communism is a really nasty religion. You can tell any religion by the fact
that its tenets are not falsifiable. Killing 100 million of your own citizens
and then claiming that a political philosophy has not been sufficiently tested
is ludicrous. Please stop testing now! Or test it on yourselves so that the
rest of the civilized world can move on.
I'm waiting for the following scientific report some day:
"Computer Science Researchers at CalTech have announced the result of
an on-going five year computer simulation of Communist economies. When
interviewed by CNN, Professor Hal Schlumpie expressed delight that
his simulations showed a remarkable resemblance to real Communist
socio-economic results. Dr. Schlumpie and his team celebrated with a
bottle of champagne but noted that it was rough going for a while.
'Probably the biggest problem was the subject populations either stagnated
or kept dying off for no good reason. We had to keep re-starting
the simulation.' Dr. Schlumpie is a fellow at the Sante Fe Institute
and studies a relatively new hybrid science called complexity theory."
