Ya know something I find funny.
A lot of anti-war people who renounce violence and preach peace and love etc...love people like Che and Lenin. Yet when you tell them that these people engaged in the same kind of sadistic violence they protest against, it's as if it does matter at all.
The U.S. wouldn't exist as it does now if it weren't for the inital genocide of the native people, and later the agressive imperialism that allowed us to take this much land from Mexico by force:
Nearly every American president aided in the genocide of the natives until there were next to none left to be killed. Nearly every American president has signed off on military action that killed thousands of innocents needlessly.
Realistically, it's not that different than anything Soviet leaders did; we just did it more effectively than they did.
