The most disgusting lie of all is that communists deliberately starved people to death.
Many territories of former Russian Empire are in the Zone Of Dangerous Agriculture.
Drought, crop failure, famine always happened there.
From century to century.
In the 19th century, for instance, there were more than 20 cases of famine!
The most terrible famine happened in 1891-1892. People called it - The King of Famine.
People were dying like flies.
The victims and deads were not even counted.
"Who would care about those peasants, who would care about that trash?!"
"Today alive, tomorrow dead, God gave you life, God took it back.."
In 1900-1903 next great famine happened.
Information about the famine was heavily censored by tzar.
Riotes began.
To surpress the unrests more than 200.000 soldiers arrived, not counting gendarms, cossacks...
In 1911 again famine.
Historians count that from 1891 to 1913 beacause of famine and its accompanying deseases 17-19 million people died.
Communists stopped that never ending famine!
How many efforts was put into this. How many channels were constructed!
WW2 were hard years for the country.
And after it - famine was over once and for all!
To claim that the communists deliberately starved people is just immoral.
So much dirt was poured on Communists....
Everything is turned upside down today - Evil is considered Good and Good is considered Evil.
But this can't go on forever. One day everything will take its place.
As for Latin America....
Another stereotype - socialism is not working.
Problem with Latin American "socialism" that it is not socialism in the full sense of the world.
Socialism has its laws. Scientific laws.
Neglecting these laws you'll find yourself in many troubles.
Venezuela, Bolivia and many other countries are good example.
You can't be a little bit pregnant.
You can be pregnant or not pregnant.
So with socialism - you can't build a little bit socialism.
You can build socialism or not socialism. Not socialism - means capitalism.
Trying to build a little bit socilialism will lead to capitalism again.
All these Latin American left government failed because of that or have problems. Except Cuba! (that tries to follow the laws)
For example, Venezuela is a social country but not socialistic.
Or you may call it radical social-democracy.
It is relying not on Marxism but on Liberation Theology.
Mixture of christianity + socialistic ideas + national liberation goals.
Capitalism was not iliminated.
Local capitalists there are still dreaming about how to get rid of that left-government.
Moreover, oil is 95% of Venezuela economy's revenue.
The fall in oil prices caused a crisis in the economy and riots.
But in Venezuela protested mostly Minority.
People who lost their privileges with the left government coming.
Chavez and Maduro did a lot to improve the life of ordinary people.
And people know it.
In the army especially.
That's why they don't betrayed them in the most difficult times.
They know - that country will be for their children as well.
With U.S puppet in power they will plunge into the misery again.
Yes, may be they will get a good bribes for their treachery....but for the majority of people it will be only worse.
So, trying to bring "a little bit of socialism" Latin American countries will be more and more in troubles.
Again and again.
Cuba was lucky enough that Fidel realized that long time ago...
