Citizens take heed. Seems important to turn away from the tyrannies of communism -- at the center of those cold wars, as a philosophy of governance.
Glad you liked that. Hoping lots of voters see the parallels, these days. Lets leave the violence in the streets of the Russian Revolution far behind. A lesson for today-- also lets leave behind the many other historic examples of street violence of past times AND current times. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Citizens take heed. Seems important to turn away from the tyrannies of communism -- at the center of those cold wars, as a philosophy of governance Truer words never spoken. But, there are times when the philosophies of governance are at odds with the realities on the ground. Now, what do I mean? Take, for example, two WWII-period incidents involving the Jews of Europe. The Jews, on the SS St. Louis, were refused asylum by Roosevelt (President of a Capitalist country)* and were returned to Europe where many eventually died in concentration camps. A few years later, the Jews in Auschwitz, were liberated by the Army of Stalin (Stalin- Premier of a Communist country). philosophy of governance may make for an interesting high school subject, however, seldom are students taught what matters most: The philosophy of the philosophers of governance. Seems there were times when the two leaders were more alike, philosophically, than not. All too often it is felt that Constitutions can be as bothersome as free and open elections. * To be sure, Cuba and Canada share the shame. |
