they recently inaugurated a new memorial somewhere in dc for the victims of communism. in doing so, of course, there is a lot of fist pumping chest thumping go go capitalism and democracy going on. http://www.victimsofcommunism.org/history_communism.php
now without in any way diminishing the evil shit that has happened, i feel that they may be ignoring a few of the blemishes on the beautfiul rostra de capitalismo.
so i compile a rough and completely unpremeditated collection here.
slaves - hundreds of millions, civilizations decimated
indigenous peoples - aborigines, native americans, maybe half a million?
trade union leaders, preachers, and others working on real development - who knows
people imprisoned, tortured, or murdered by `friendly´regimes supporting this war against communism - who the fuck knows but a whole lot
peasants and farmers who have died fightiing against oppressive governments or who have been laid to waste thanks to neoliberal econmic policies - a whole fuck of a lot
so i guess its about even
