        I understand, but I want to know why, and on what basis. If we can come to a mutual understanding, and work towards a better world, I would consider that a great victory for today.

          Hmmm…Well, I just think that they’re bad dudes. They did stuff that was bad and they knew it was bad but they still did it. Take Bucharest, Romania, 1989. Ceausescu was communist and look where that took all of the country and its people.

            Do you mean communists are bad because they are communists? What did they do that was bad, that they deliberately chose to do? Do you believe communism was the cause, or other factors?

            Looking purely at the final years of the soviet union, where nationalist groups were rising and political instability on the rise, would be an error.
