How can anybody, ANYBODY, apply moral relativism to this topic? Fact: Che Guevara, the Butcher of La Cabana, was directly responsible for the murders of THOUSANDS of fellow human beings. Fact: Under Communism, more than 70,000,000 Chinese died, from a variety of causes, ALL caused by the communist state. Fact: More than 40,000,000 citizens of the 15 Soviet republics died because of their own C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-T government. Just two communist governments managed to kill more people than were lost in all of the wars of the 20th century combined! Surely Inge cannot possibly equate the inequities of the capitalistic economic system to the savage murderousness manifest in every single communist state that ever existed? I'm going to go lay down now. Wow, I am just stunned. How can anybody, ANYBODY, apply moral relativism to this topic?

And are all communists murders? I'm sorry, but I don't get the impression the blog you're linking to gives 'neutral' information. Don't get me wrong, my parents were Communists and I know what that kind of thinking does to people, but oversimplifying things doesn't do justice to both history and the victims. If you take both Communism and Capitalism to the extreme, people start suffering. So please, don't act like the world is divided in black and white, good and bad, right and wrong, because it isn't as simple as that. ;) Did you or Michelle Malkin meet Che?
