Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control.

Stalinism, Maoism and, hmm, not sure if it has any specific -ism-name. All are totalitarian states, none have but a whiff of Communism. You really should study other ideologies than your own before attacking them blindly.

Trotskyism is the only perfect ideology.

Hey, don't blame me, blame all the books that say it, and the teachers whose job it is to teach it.

In your dreams, my friend.

In our dreams you'll know what you talk about? Hopefully it could be reality as well.

CT, Trotskyism was not so great as you promote it to be. Trotsky followed Lenin and Lenin was not a Communist in heart, either.

Talmann, I blame you for not filtering the Cold War propaganda they teach even us here. :D

Such as the fact that the Stalinist claim that the Comintern and Cominfrom promoted Communism or that the USSR was ever truly socialist, for that matter. The whole anti-Communism aspect that exists today is because of one powerful leader naming his totalitarianism as Communist and/or Socialist. The same applies to national socialism, which by itself is not such a bad form of government as they come, excepting that it has a seriously negative connonation to it thanks to Hitler.

One could say that's your perspective since you ARE socialist. I could say the same about fascism since I'm on the right end of the spectrum, however I'm not. To some people, it's all clumped together because there's not much difference.

You communists always say "They're not communist" as if to shift the blame from you. At least us capitalists admit we're not perfect. Stalinism is communism. It's a communist school of thought. It's not Marxism, but it is communism, so you still can't shift the blame from you.

Barc, you still hasn't answered about the US atrocities currently beeing committed on the Guantanamo base or those that up until a year ago was going on in Abu Graib and other coalition prisons in Iraq and probably has started up again now that the media coverage has laxed.
Or that US laws under "the patriot act" takes the right to unilatterally kidnap and incarcerate other nations's citizens on suspicion only, for unlimited time and without presenting evidence. It also explicitly allows torture of suspected "terrorists" event though it is prooved that torture isn't a reliable way to extract information. In addition to all this, it has been written in a way as to disguise the meaning of the words.
