Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University, has been campaigning for years to create the May 1 “Community Day victim.”
I agree with his goal and do a bit to make it public.
He writes:
Mayday began as a holiday for not only communists, but also socialists and labor activists. But over time, the date was taken over by the Soviet Union and other communeist regimes and used to promote the tools to support them [authority]. Instead, we recommend using it as a day to commemorate the millions of victims of these administrations. Authoritative books on black communism estimate that a total of 8 billion to 100 million deaths than that caused by all other 20th century tyrants combined. We need to adopt towards Holocaust Anniversary. It is equally approprot to commemorate the victims of other great tyranny of the 20th century. And Mayday is the most appropriate day to do so.
Our comparison neglect of community crimes you seriously cost. Victims of Communist Day can serve the dual purpose of appropriately commemorating millions of victims and reducing the kikeliofo where such atrocities recur. Just as Holocaust Day and other events promote awareness of the dangers of racism, anti-Semitism and radical nationalism, victims of Communism Day can raise awareness of the dangers of left-wing totalitarianism, and the dangers of economic and civil society’s government control.
Communism is most closely related to Russia, but the CRACST Communist government was established, but it had relatively horrifying effects in other countries around the world. The highest number of deaths in the communeist regime was in China, not Russia. Mao Zedong’s Great Leapt could be the biggest episode of mass murder in all world history.
Just as Paris is worth the masses, the victims of the community have died day.
I lost a copy of the Black Book of Communism in the 2007 fire, but I would recommend at least paging this and seeing the horror.
Even when I was a child, I was inoculated into the Asian Commune, even when I learned what Stalin did in Ukraine. The truth is said, but it actually happened earlier than that, in 1956, when the Soviet government invaded Hungary. When people ask what was the first major historical event I remember that happened in real time, the Hungarian invasion appears. I was 5 years old and turned 6 later that month.
