He was the Russian author who won the Nobel Peace Prize for some of his works exposing Stalin’s death camps. He had personal letters intercepted and was imprisoned for criticizing Stalin in a private letter while serving in the military. Talk about big brother reading your mail. Kinda like Darren Entwistle intercepting private E-mail and using it as evidence in the Bob Varaleau Decision: http://darrenentwistle.com/telusidol/new_telus_idol_conspiracies.htm
In my Solzhenitsyn tribute I’m going to cite four beasts and compare their similarities Perhaps they’re just three beasts and the last one has two heads. First, in Solzhenitsyn’s honour, let’s cite the Russian beast and I’m not referring to Rasputin. I’m referring to Communism under the hands of Stalin and Lenin. No not John, Vladimir. John Lennon’s song Imagine wasn’t evil, just wishful thinking.
After Stalin’s many death camps were exposed, many started to draw a line between Stalin and Lenin. Some said that Stalin’s death camps were to be minimized for the greater good of the cause and Lenin was much better. Not. Solzhenitsyn exposed Lenin for what he was - an opportunist who took over the revolution by murdering the real workers hero then sent in the machine guns on the striking trade unionists when they started to protest. http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles7/SolzhenitsynWarning.php
My father used to always say that Communism works in theory but doesn’t work in practice. That’s a good quote for a kid to cite without really understanding what it means. Here’s the deal; there are many ideals within Marxism, Communism, and Socialism that are noble and good. Social justice is good but the end does not justify the means. I have spoken about my feelings about what I see as the major flaws within the Communist manifesto and will repost it in a separate thread.
I define Communism under the hands of Stalin and Lenin the second beast. China’s Communism I’m going to have to address separately. The first beast is of course, a dictator from the other side of the fence, Fascism under the hands of Hitler and Mussolini using Machiavelli's The Prince as a model.
I remember dating a German girl once and was worried about what my father would say. He was from a different generation so he was. He volunteered when he was under age for WW II and his father was wounded with mustard gas under the hands of the Germans in the trenches of WW I. I was worried what he would say when he found out I was dating a German girl. His response was simple; "The war is over isn’t it?"
What Hitler did was horrific. What was done to the Jews in the death camps and the ovens was horrific. Denying that happened is offensive nonsense. A desire to return to that kind of genocide is a declaration of war. Nevertheless, I would like to point out that most in Germany at the time did not know what was going on in the death camps. It started with segregation. When the ruthlessness of the Nazis was revealed many speculated what was happening but by then it was too late to stop it.
The third beast I will cite, the one with the two heads is that of the Corporation and the second head is that of the Bush Administration and the Pentagon. I say Bush Administration despite the fact that it started before him and will continue after him. His small face is the one that the public sees. The real head is hidden by the CIA: http://www.bushflash.com/swf/thanks.swf
Without diving into all the evidence, I will submit that the Pentagon and the Bush Administration are tied to the profit driven corporation. They have become mercenaries not for the common defense but for the almighty dollar. Idolatry at it’s peak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CKmVXRLziY
In the American’s defense I will say that I completely support the U.S. Constitution. I believe that is an inspired document and that the Communist manifesto is inherently flawed. Nevertheless, there are noble ideals within some forms of Marxism and there is practical corruption within the American system. Apathy is one of the root causes of the failure of that system, which demonstrates that those who never fought for freedom shall never know the taste of it.
