Konstantin Kisin on the unhappy realities of ‘progressive’ utopia:
These enemies of the [Soviet] state included my great-grandparents who met in a concentration camp for political prisoners. Every morning at their camp, three people would be picked out at random from the general population of the camp and thrown into the icy waters of the lake to freeze and drown in full view of the other prisoners to ‘keep things under control.’
With this background, I am —perhaps understandably— hypersensitive to the emerging far-left in Western politics. I can’t help noticing similarities in the rhetoric about “eradicating inequality,” “smashing the class system,” and a new age of “radical egalitarianism.” And when I do, I shudder, because… it’s a reminder of the unforgiving reality that those who don’t realise how good they have it, or take their lives of plenty for granted, are vulnerable to demagogic ideologies that promise to tear it all down to build a ‘better tomorrow.’

I would have to support this comment. Too many members of my wife’s and my families died in the Gulag to ignore the almost daily verbal and physical threats occurring somewhere in North America that are coming from the far left. Even prominent figures in the threaten prison for deniers. Free or contrary speech is under assault in our universities and media.
There is a darkness coming.
As one person put it (and sorry, I can’t cite the quotation) : I have no problem with fantasy, it is reality which gives me pause.
Fortunately … my Canadian Friends … your country has many parts that resemble Siberia. So your SJW-PM can establish work camps to ‘disappear’ criminals of improper thought.
This is the additional article I am encouraging, not suggesting, advising you to read when possible. It has a great deal of information written concisely, but still a lot of information to be absorbed. Book mark this onto to your Reading List.
It contains infromation the compromised CBC and the Central Canada Media will never be allowed to present to Canadians. Thanks to NATIONAL REVIEW .COM –& SDA–Small Dead Animals to make this information available for Canadians.
Recommend Y’all read this article by PJMEDIA.COM & brought to Canadian’s attention by SDA.–Small Dead Animals—The CBC who is in Bed with Liberal Party of Canada; who is in Bed with the Clinton-Obama-Clinton/Soros Crime Family who established the U.S.A. Deep State.
“with the advent of instant communication within and without the Hoi polloi the Profession of History must include current Chronicling, and the Profession of Journalism reestablish viable opinions.”

I read a paperback by one in the know about the resourcefulness of the unparty masses in roosha who did not have a decent cut of meat waiting for them at the butcher shop, an apartment, motor vehicle etc.
it was all based on privilege to the party members. that was the key, get into the communist party and then the ‘equality’ kicks in. not until them.
George Orwell was so right about roosha.
I guess the reposting of the SDA content cannot pass with an add-on.
Anyways in keeping with the awareness of previous Generations travails;
My In-Laws Parents and Grandparents left the Russia of 1880’s prior to the Assassination of a Russian Tsar.
–{ Wikipedia doesn’t recognize Russian–anything now–the Deep State is using Russia as it’s tool.}
So it is either Nicholas or Alexander who was assainssinated.
The previous generations lived “beyond the Pale” which some may understand means they were Jews living way beyond the “National Security” concerns of Russian Nobility and State Police.
Somehow, some where the recognition of the Family it was time to leave before the Pograms against Jews by the Cossacks were initiated again by the Ruling Class. They managed to reach Canada after an incredible journey of pain and distrust. Because they were Jews. It was impossible for Jews to defend themselves. The Jews who remained “beyond the Pale” were never heard of again after it was discovered or conceived one of the Anarchists was a Jew.
Alexander II was assassinated in March 1881 while about to sign Russia’s first constitution. The Orthodox Church of the Spilt Blood was built on the site where the bombs were thrown and he was killed. His brother was crowned Alexander III, was a Jew hater, and reversed many of the liberal reforms his brother Alexander II had made.
a communist never sees the damage. they are mentally ill and blind to the end results. there are people in Russia who still think stalin was a saviour.
