Forgetting the Past.

Remember communist East Germany,when people were shot for trying to get out,nobody was trying to get in,except spies and Missionaries. Everyone was trying to get out.
We knew we had it so much better than they had.Unfortunately the people who remember that are getting older now.
The young people now are coming along saying “ we’ve never really tried Communism,we’ve never really tried socialism,”THE ONLY REASON IT FAILED IN THE PAST IS BECAUSE IT WASN’T DONE RIGHT”.
You have to be young,naive or stupid to believe those type of things,and you have to be ignorant of history.

The Communism that you’re on about was a revolutionary “fix” to a major political problem.

Could you have seen the Romanovs gradually devolving power?

The Russian Revolution was a historical first. Don’t forget that.

But as we know from reading Orwell and other dystopian novels, once you have the populace believing in the State without questioning it, then you control their minds and bodies.

If the State is run by unscrupulous officials who want to be “more equal than others” then they can literally get away with murder!

In historical hindsight perhaps it should only have been a short term fix, rather than an ideology, but Russia is a huge place.

It’s all about control, and it’s not unique to Communism. It’s the same for any totalitarian regime.

It is also what religion is all about. Believe what you are told without question. Do as you’re told not as your leaders do.

I personally have never heard any young people saying “we’ve never really tried Communism”.

More likely to hear them say “I’ve never really tried Soya milk”!

You do get the permanently online Tankies on Twitter, who tend to be young. However, they are still a minority and communist party ranks haven’t exactly swelled.

The problem is, BPG sees Boris Johnson and anyone to the left of him as communist, so enemies are everywhere! :-)

So there we have it ,said in a round about way,”The only reason it failed in the past is because it wasn’t done right!”
I rest my case ,yer honour.

Pretty sure the judge would point out the two responses above don’t constitute what you’re claiming Bpg
