The story :


Quote:

At dawn on november 4 1956, communism showed its true character to the world.  with a ferocity and barbarism unmatched in recent history, it moved its brutal tanks against a defenceless population seeking escape from the terrors of communism,and destroyed it. A city whose only offence was that it sought a decent life was shot to pieces. Dedicated Hungarian communists who had slightly deviated from the true russian line were shot down ruthlessly and hunted from house to house. Even workers ,on whom communism is supposed to be built were rounded up like animals and and shipped in seald goods vans to the ussr.  A satellite country which had dared to question russian domination was annihilated. After what the russians did to hungary, after the destruction of a magnificent city,and after their treatment of fellow communists , the world need no longer have even the slimmest doubt as to what communisms intentions are. Hungary had laid bare the great communist lie.

Who needs it ?? Noone . Who wants it, those in control, those who benefit from it.
From the sweat of the labourers.

Anyone read George Orwells "Animal Farm".
The last rule was  "All animals are created equal, some are more equal than others."


Even though communism may have had good ideals initially, it finally goes there.
Freedom of expression is vital.

Just you wait until i get into the nitty gritty of the book.
You will be horrified and nausiated. (its not gory, just shocking.)

they are renown for crushing intelligence and freedom of speech is strictly forbidden.

One of my mates has immigrated from Russia to here. He loves Aussie. He bribed to get his family out of there.

And do you know what's ironic about the idea of communism? They claim that it promotes 'freedom of speech.'  ;D

HA!  And it is encouraged by the KGB.

yes, they say it is "by the people, for the people".  
Good deception, so anyone who rebels, is against the people.

Is freedom of speech and action when some people are MUCH wealthier than others.
We are NOT all equal. By allowing others to excel, they pull everyone upwards.

Freedom of speech
