...only the Nazi kept good record of murders. Even thought some of their archives were inevitably lost, it is possible to get closer to real numbers.If you consider the soviets, the estimates range from 60-70 million by Solzhenitsyn, to about the same by Rummel, to... (I hope you are sitting down) 600,000 by their government. On top of that you will also hear: "And many of them were truly guilty!"
The only difference between the Nazi and the communists was their methods. The Russians were too backward for the industrial methods, so they simply drowned 10,000 people in a barge, or burnt them in a church.
Still, the stories of the communist executioners, wearing aprons, standing knee-deep in blood are well documented.
One such guy conducted a perfectly normal family life, with a wife and kids, and went to work every day with his briefcase.
There all he did was shoot people. His record, apparently, was 500 people killed in one day.
He later retired peacefully and died in his bed.
But you will not hear any of such stories from the Western liberals.
You will hear, instead, of "free" education and medicine, of their culture, ballet and caviar, and of what a wonderful time they had on a cruise there.
