Talk:Victims of Communism Memorial

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Where is the "Victims of Capitalism" monument? 12.30.159.142 01:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

It's not built yet. The article explains. —dm ^(talk) 06:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I said Victims of Capitalism, not Communism. Since communism's never existed, no one's died from that, yet. 209.7.174.89 15:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. My mistake. Maybe the memorial should be called "Victims of Despotic Regimes Claiming to Be Communist Memorial"? --dm ^(talk) 20:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually communism has existed a number of times, but it's always been taken over by despots or military dictators before the ideals of the original movement have had time to sink in and last. That's why communism fails. But you can still give it a C for the effort, right?

Communists and Facists are indentical on that aspect - instead of accepting the past, they say 'but it was not real X...'.

Beside, the regims called themselves communists, were definitly dictatorials and arguably far-left in nature. So there.

And the wikipedia is not a democracy and neitheir a place for debates.
