Re: A Tribute to Communism
Communists are a disgrace for the humanity. Their ideology is based on lies, disinformation and tyranny, mass tortures and killings. History proves it on every instance communism comes into power.
Communism as a most barbarous regime in history of humankind is still advocated by many collaborators waiting for opportunity to seize power and enslave unsuspecting nations and populations.

Re: A Tribute to Communism
You people show your under-developed intellectual capabilities by believing that Obama is a Communist which is ridiculous.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28621784


Communist Party doesn't think so.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10783814


well, since there is only one choice between 2 shitheads from the same two parties every 4 years, even if they dont like Obama they are still going to vote for a democrap. Thats all there is to it. They aren't left with any other options.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28621784


No, they had one option. The commie.

The are elated at his "victory".
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10783814


Stop spouting nonsense. The CPUSA has a strategy why they support the Democrats re election (and why they didnt field their own candidate). Read your own link! It isnt because Obama is their leader (they say quite clearly he is capitalist and not a radical), but it's because it is the only party with a chance to defeat the "right" so that they the CPUSA can mobilize the "democratic forces" for legislative changes they support. They are overly optimistic, obviously. But every political party has their internal debates and rhetoric and what they say they will do to accomplish what they say will happen.

Communism usually uses fictional arguments to describe their opponents when addressing problems that only communistic ideology is responsible for.

Atheism advocated by communists worships Lenin like a "god" even today. Unfortunately this form of "strange religion" has no sense of moral values with treachery, lies common between these followers.

Wish I could read the documents you linked. All's I can say at this point is that the Baltics were victims of big power geopolitics. It's independence was a pipe dream, and resistance to outside rule -- by either the USSR or Nazi Germany -- was not an option. I am sure many sincere brave patriots thought otherwise, and they paid with their lives. I used to have no sympathy for the Baltics, but I realize they could not have had the power of hindsight to make the right decision in their difficult situation. There was no right decision, and they lost. I dont really blame the Soviets either, as far as their reaction to save themselves from the inevitable Nazi attack. For them it was merely a front line buffer zone to slow down the invasion.

I realize today the anti Russian feelings are getting hot. I dont know exactly who is involved and why. I just hope that it isnt a resurgence of neo Nazis who wish to settle scores and veer your country off course (or perhaps a similar course as before). Lithuanians deserve better...

Re: A Tribute to Communism
A pickpocket is obviously a champion of private enterprise. But it would perhaps be an exaggeration to say that a pickpocket is a champion of private property…. The point about Communism is that it only reforms the pickpocket by forbidding pockets.

I teach drafting and design, I suppose that I could say the numbers are roman numerals and the triangle is the shape for pyramids, yet this gives me even less time to teach the smart students.

These documents have numbers of people which is easily seen. Unfortunately the only translations available are in Lithuanian. What is mainstream knowledge here, in West and other countries is completely unknown or less known.

It is not anti Russian, it is anti Communist.
Lithuanian history was not going with Nazis and it isn't now. Similar claims are a result of propaganda intended to undermine the ones that were fighting and many of whom lost their lives in fight against communism.

Lithuania witnessed mass deportations, communist atrocities. This started resistance war in 1941-06-22 where Soviet army was defeated. Government was formed and independence restored. There is movie about it.


[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

German army went without serious fight through Lithuania. Lithuanian government was not recognized, replaced by Nazi representatives and true intentions could be easily guessed (it is a long story). Lithuanian government sent a letter to Hitler that it is against Geneva convention to form military units in occupied territories, which was unprecedented (government was arrested for this).
Rosenberg policy took upper hand and made everything clear. Von Renteln wanted to form "Waffen SS", but Lithuanians refused to fight for foreign cause.

When communists finally came, it was the longest resistance war in Europe.
1944-1952(resistance leaders lost)-1965(serious military confrontation ended).
1971(the last fighting partisan surrendered)
1986(the last partisan that did not surrender died in Lithuania).

Lithuania was the first to break away from Soviet Union. Communists constantly spread lies and disinformation about Lithuanian resistance movement.

The dangers of the past are being brought back up. The ultimate irony of an age of digital wonders and endless information is that young people could be so enthralled with embracing elements of a destructive system without realizing the actual dangers (given all of the information available) that go along with it. Human gullibility is as much to blame as the natural need to avoid suffering.

Re: A Tribute to Communism
This thread is a perfect.

You have the people who fought tooth and nail to get out of communism. They watched entire family wiped out trying to get out, you will never hear a person say they got out of Germany before the wall fell and they regret it. Instead if you talk to that person who did escape they will break down because they see this nightmare starting again here.

Then you have the young people who jump up and down at how capitalism is bad and do not trust their government or TPTB in anyway, but those same people are willing to run in to a nightmare blindly and suddenly. They WANT to trust a socialistic sadistic government because “that government” will never lie they want to help the people! These kids can’t comprehend entire streets getting wiped out have never seen a person killed slowly with a machete or seen a baby head stomped in as the mother watches. They have a Hollywood concept of violence; to them everything is rainbows and candy on the other side of the fence. They can’t understand that they would be killed just for expressing an opinion because they have never been in a position like that, to them it is a foreign concept not based in a reality they have experienced.


Kids have it to easy, they expect the government to hand them everything just like the current government does. They don’t get the one roll of toilet paper a week for a family of four and a line of 8 hours to get that roll concept, we hid reality from them to protect them, and it backfired.


People fighting to give up their freedom for a free meal, rather than fighting to be able to live as they want without the government telling them what to do.

In communism your person is the property of the state.

Read some Solzhenitsyn and disabuse yourself of the communist delusion.





Aleksander Wat was a Polish intellectual, imprisoned by Stalin following the outbreak of the Second World War. His remarkable memoirs have been compared with Solzhenitsyn's work. Here, he recalls his time in Kiev Prison in the Soviet Union, where writing on the latrine walls provided the only truth in a world perverted by Soviet lies. Wat considers one of these pieces of graffiti which read: ‘A curse on whoever invented the name Corrective Labour Camps.’


‘A curse on whoever invented the name... ’ – anger about a name, the meaning of words, semantics. The loss of freedom, tyranny, abuse, hunger would all have been easier to bear if not for the compulsion to call them freedom, justice, the good of the people. Mass exterminations are not an exception in history; cruelty is part of human nature, part of society. But a new, third, dimension had been added that was more deeply and subtly oppressive: a vast enterprise to deform language. Had it been only lies and hypocrisy – lying is part of human nature and all governments are hypocritical. The rulers' hypocrisy can cause rebellion, but here any possible rebellion had been nipped in the bud once and for all. A lie is an infirmity, a disease of language. The natural function of language is to ascertain the truth, or truths. Lies, by their very nature partial and ephemeral, are revealed as lies when confronted with language's striving for truth. But here all the means of disclosure had been permanently confiscated by the police. The customary or even the logical, natural connections between words and things, facts, had been taken from the individual, expropriated everywhere, and nationalized for good, so that now any word could mean whatever suited the whims of the usurper of all words, meanings, things, and souls. The viler the deed, the more grandiloquent the name. But if only this procedure were used to mask criminal means and ignoble ends – that too had happened often enough in history, the history of wars, tyrannies, and annexations; Tacitus knew about all that. But in this case a coherent set of grandiloquent terms and the opposing monstrous reality were kept side by side, ostentatiously and with diabolical thoroughness and perseverance, and under threat of extermination a person was coerced into fully believing that the terms and the facts were identical. Such things had been anticipated and attempted in history's darker hours, but this was the first time the ‘reforging of souls’ was carried out by the police on such a colossal scale, with such speed and such logic. Collective farmers dying of starvation were herded into films in which the tables buckled under the weight of food; under threat of death they had to believe that these banquets, and not their wretched poverty, their collective farms, were true and typical. Young enthusiasts sang rapturously:

‘I know no other land
Where a man can breathe so free’

while their fathers perished in the camps. But for souls that had not been reforged yet, nothing was as hateful as that total corruption of language. It drove them to their wits' end. It suffocated them like a nightmare, like a noose around their necks.

When I was at liberty in Russia, which by then had been pacified until it was like a cemetery, I saw some old people who risked their lives to shout out, if only once, that slavery is slavery and not freedom. That was to be a common thing later on in post-war Poland, even during the blackest years. I was one of that large number, and I paid dearly for it.

So in the prison latrines you could read the plain human truth about Stalin's Russia – there, and only there.
