The Hell that is Stalinism

Josef Stalin was a deeply evil bastard. History tells us of his evil deeds, the slaughtering, imprisonment, and persecution of tens of millions of Russians is one of the darkest chapters in history. Stalinism, is the worst form of Comminism, the most brutal, draconian, version of Totalinarianism imagineable. Sadly, no tragically, Stalinism did not die with Stalin in 1953. Mao, another murderous bastard killed even more innocents in China than Stalin did in the USSR. Today, only one Stalinsit state exists. That is North Korea.Complete with Gulags and human suffering on a scale we cannot fathom.

Doug Powers has the details on the latest crimes being committed by North Korea’s new leader.

I know I tend to joke around a bit and have some snarky fun here, but when Kim Jong Il died and I wrote that North Koreans had better weep uncontrollably “or get sent to a labor camp,” I wasn’t kidding. And of course now it sounds like that is indeed the case:

North Korean authorities are punishing mourners who failed to exhibit sincere sadness and despair after the death of Kim Jong Il on Dec. 17, the Daily NK reported Wednesday.

The online North Korean newspaper, which is published by opponents of the governing regime, said a source in North Hamkyung Province revealed the information. The source told the paper “authorities are handing down at least six months in a labor-training camp to anybody who didn’t participate in the organized gatherings during the mourning period, or who did participate but didn’t cry and didn’t seem genuine,” according to the Daily NK.

Like I said, those of us who have been blessed to live in the West cannot fathom such atrocities. But they are real none the less. remember those suffering in North Korea the next time some Lefty praises Communism.
