QUOTE OF THE DAY: On whitewashing Marxism-Leninism

"No self-respecting person who loves humanity
or wishes for a world of greater equality and justice
should have anything to do with whitewashing the
slavery and extermination of Marxism-Leninism."

—Anthony Gregory, “Stalin Apologia

  1. Sums it up quite nicely, despite all the failures, there always a bunch of idiots that think they can make it work & that it's morally the right thing to do.

  2. "No self-respecting person … should have anything to do with...Marxism-Leninism."

    Well how do you explain the 90% of Kiwi voters who keep re-electing Marxist-Lenninist-Stalinst governments?

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
