There are no victims of Communism--just statistics.

Lest we forget indeed.
We have let moral relativism and just plain intellectual laziness cloud the correct judgment of communism as a failed economic system and a form of tyranny. We have to drum these facts into everyone's heads. Victims of communism can't have suffered and died for nothing.

On this 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of communism I'd like to honour this special day by smashing in the face of some unrepentant commie scum.

"Communism has been the greatest social engineering experiment we have ever seen. It failed utterly and in doing so it killed over 100,000,000 men, women, and children, not to mention the near 30,000,000 of its subjects that died in its often aggressive wars and the rebellions it provoked. But there is a larger lesson to be learned from this horrendous sacrifice to one ideology. That is that no one can be trusted with power. The more power the center has to impose the beliefs of an ideological or religious elite or impose the whims of a dictator, the more likely human lives are to be sacrificed. This is but one reason, but perhaps the most important one, for fostering liberal democracy."

Communism is evil!

Communism and radical islam have in common the fact that if you try to escape either, their adherents will kill you. Any system that can only hold it's followers by death threats has to be wrong.

There will be no condemnation of communism please while the great "O" installs it next door in what used to be the United States of America. I wonder if Canada will become their Siberia where they ship dissidents once he gets it done?

You're a bit optimistic about Canada's role. We're more likely to be complicit than co-opted.

Lord those are powerful paintings. Each one speaks louder than a dozen books. They tell a story that so many on this planet would rather not have told.

How is Canada's Memorial to the Victums of Communism coming?

History is no longer taught in some schools. We will be doomed to repeating the mistakes of history - no doubt about it.

Sad indeed.

philboy, report to Mr. g.

Come on folks. If not for Communism the Worlds population would be even larger.
I am sure Obama & friends think of this death cult every time they think of the environment.
I am sure they have a final solution for that as well. Casualty's be damned, when The Planet saver Obama is healing the World.

"Never again will peoples and nations allow so evil a tyranny."

Don't be so sure.

[ Surprisingly enough the second event that caused the environmental movement to veer to the left was the fall of the Berlin Wall. Suddenly the international peace movement had a lot less to do. Pro-Soviet groups in the West were discredited. Many of their members moved into the environmental movement bringing with them their eco-Marxism and pro-Sandinista sentiments .]

Don't be so sure. After all, they say history repeats itself.

Don't forget the film about East Germany and the Stasi "The Lives of Others". It came out in 2006 and won the best foreign film oscar in 2007. A very chilly film.

Then there were the Polish films about the Solidarity movement Man of Iron (1981) and the earlier Man of Marble about the ideal 'Soviet' man. Both directed by Adrzej Wajda.

Dictator's wife defiant over forced adoptions

Margot Honecker, a Communist-era minister now living in exile in Chile, left a cruel legacy of separated families

The families torn apart by Mrs Honecker's children's policy would not agree. Under the policy, the children
of dissidents and East Germans who attempted to flee to the West were forcibly and permanently separated from their parents. Many were placed in foster homes or state adoption institutions, or with the families of childless Communist party activists.

Many affected children and parents never saw each other again, but a search pool has been set up and is attempting to bring families back together. It has identified more than 2,000 individuals still suffering a family loss thanks to Mrs Honecker's legacy.

"mattresses filled with straw"

sounds like that godawful weekend I spent at cub camp. thank you lord baden powell and your knobby knees ghastly short pants that brought so much torment to innocent kids like.

any wonder why I detest authority in all its forms?

if it wasn't for those friggin short pants . . . .

LOL !!!

let's here it for comrade Stalin !!!

The gentleman said that they will be looking for a place to hang these paintings in a permanent exhibit. It occurred to me that some utility might actually be rescued from the hundreds of millions of plundered dollars being poured into the so-called Canadian Museum of Human Rights, here in Winnipeg, by housing at least some of these paintings.

Well, you can always dream, right?

A heartfelt thank you to those brave souls who forced the socialists to bring down the Berlin Wall. Were it not for the demise of the wall and of Communism across Eastern Europe, I would never have gotten to meet any of my extended family from the former prison state of East Germany.

Lest We Forget.

They moved into a number of "Movements"; one was the Gun Control movement. A "Peace Activist", Robert (Bob)Penner started the Coalition for Gun Control in Toronto in the late 70's.

John Murney: "A heartfelt thank you to those brave souls who forced the socialists to bring down the Berlin Wall."

Yes, to those on the ground who sacrificed a great deal and to the world leaders who stood in the gap: President Reagan, Prime Minister Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II.

On the American news last night, there were nods to President Ronald Reagan, but no mention of either Margaret Thatcher or Pope John Paul II.

Lest we forget.

John Murney: "A heartfelt thank you to those brave souls who forced the socialists to bring down the Berlin Wall."

Yes, much gratitude to those on the ground who sacrificed so much to see this happen and to the world leaders who stood in the gap: U.S. President Reagan, England's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II.

The U.S. news last night gave a passing nod to Ronald Reagan, but completely ignored Margaret Thatcher's and Pope John Paul II's contribution to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Lest we forget, indeed.
