What if they actually came to value justice, peace, human dignity, and freedom from oppression? Just to take one obvious example, the KKK never built psychological torture camps for blacks, and I have no doubt that there are far, far more people in such camps at the moment–in 2017, almost 2018– than were ever killed by the KKK. The number might easily even be several million, which is roughly the total number of slaves at the end of the Civil War. And as far as death tolls, there were years the Communists killed 10x the number of people who died on both sides in the Civil War. There can be no comparison.
No Communist can accuse America of anything. Their own crimes exist several qualitative leaps above our own, in their viciousness, systematic nature, and continuity over time.
China as a free nation: it’s a beautiful idea, even if unlikely for the foreseeable future. One can always hope that sleeping consciences might awaken, at least where they are not made fully absent by psychopathy, or the equivalent as embodied in rigid ideology.
