Far-left website Salon published a stunning defense of communism on Sunday, revealing what it claims are seven "huge misconceptions" about communism and capitalism.
AuthorJesse Myerson pushed back at the claim that communism has killed as many as 110 million people. Using "The Five" host Greg Gutfeld as an example,Myerson sought to clarify details about the slaughter that occurred under Stalin and Mao:
In declaring this, Gutfeld and his ilk insult the suffering of the millions of people who died under Stalin, Mao, and other 20thCentury Communist dictators. Making up a big-sounding number of people and chalking their deaths up to some abstract "communism" is no way to enact a humanistic commitment to victims of human rights atrocities.
So, just like the Holocaust, it just isn't true. All those dead people who perished under Stalin and Mao are a work of fiction. And you're sitting there NOT concerned about Common Core and the dumbing down of America? Once these clowns tell this lie long enough, they'll be back to tell us why the Second Amendment has no validity in "today's world". Beware, be concerned, be active.
