RE: off topic: query to editors (Trotsky)



>How many hundreds of millions of people were killed in his name?
Since everyone who is killed is killed in someone's name, does it really
matter whose name? The salient fact is that they are dead when they could
have been living.
And let's not forget that Hitler hated communists just as much as McCarthy
and Reagan, for example, did.
At the very least, Marxism has given us the most gelben of all gelbenhumor
remarks, Stalin's: "Kill one and it's a tragedy; kill a million and it's a
statistic."
Who knows? We may have a chance to test how that remark feels to us, in
real time, in the days ahead.
