Sounds both interesting and terrifying at the same time.
Interesting from the historical perspective, terrifying for the same reason, present time...

Anyone who can read between the lines can see the parallels and perils we face today.
If we refuse to rule ourselves with reason, then we shall be ruled by our passions.

"I chose freedom"(first person view considering he was one of the true believers during the elimination of the farmers which lead to the famines and the terror and "The Forsaken" which is the best IMO on the the terror of Stalin, A little bit about the Americans that emigrated to Russia only to find what communism is all about. If only we weren't armed, LAGC and KADMOS could have their way.
Thanks Oswald, I'll pick that one up too. Funny that Hitler is described as one of the antichrists but Stalin is over looked. What's truly amazing that the US decided to partner with Stalin. Pure evil.

Mao was even worse
Here's to pussy and gunpowder. One to live for, the other to die by.....Goddamn though, I do love the smell of 'em both !!!
Stalin, Mao responsible for close to 70 million deaths. Obama and his weak vacillation on sealing our boards and the blocking air travel from Ebola saturated West Africa ... just may out do them both.
