[QUOTE="Micron, post: 892042, member: 17294"] haha! It's odd how everyone knows something about and loathes the Nazi's, but somehow the Bolsheviks, Lenin and Stalin are under the radar, not to mention Chairman Mao. Some people still march under the hammer and sickle as if it is marker of their virtue. One evening in Melville I met a girl. She had recently graduated from a local university with an undergraduate degree in politics. With a sparkle in her eyes she said to me that she is a communist. I asked her if she has read Das Kapital. She replied; "Isn't Das Kapital that DJ?". [SIZE=11px][Yes, there is coincidentally a DJ named [i]Das Kapital[/i] (https://www.youtube.com/user/DasKapitalDisco/videos), but she didn't know about Marx's book].[/SIZE] A discussion about Marxian vs Austrian economics was not on the table. She wasn't aware that the murderous revolutions, famines or the Gulag camps even happened, but she studied politics and a professor must have told the class that communism is what you believe in if you're a moral person. She was leaving for the UK soon to further her academic career there. [/QUOTE]
