It's pointless to compare monstrosities. But I addressed in the 27 Dec post the differences i see between Naziism and Communism. I think they're significant. See what you think and let me know; I'd be interested in your opinion.<br /><br />BF: agreed in part--no argument re COINTELPRO etc. I was in college in May 1970, though, and even in my quite liberal campus there was a perfunctory quality to the shut down. I don't see in any way an American consensus for change even remotely approaching that in France. Many on the left mistook America for France; they were wrong.ProfWombathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251229209601018545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105609655817239699.post-30562736772092858142010-12-29T19:42:52.634-05:002010-12-29T19:42:52.634-05:00Greater evil?

Fascism, by a landslide.<br />True, Stalin was evil, but at least his start-up vision pertained to distributing human rights equally. Whereas fascism was spawned by naught by hatred.Caroline A.

Nearly all the major U.S. campuses were shut down by New Left activist-led anti-war student protesters by the end of May 1970. Unfortunately, both the U.S. imperialist establishment (and their GOP and Dem political puppets) utilized illegal COINTELPRO tactics in the early 1970s against New Left groups like the Black Panther Party, etc. to eliminate their radical left anti-war/anti-racist political opponents and, thus, opened the gates to the post-1980s Reagan/Bush Dynasty right-wing comeback, etc.b.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00907592761685745016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105609655817239699.post-36990457184661653912010-12-24T09:40:17.666-05:002010-12-24T09:40:17.666-05:00Yup.
