Its no surprise that the left would try their hardest to downplay the horror that communism was and is in this world...

communism has never caused any terror in the world simply because there as never been any country on this planet that had a communist government (and I don´t even think it would be possible) what you have had over the years are a bunch of dictatorships that call them selfs "communist".........
why not have a memorial for all victims of dictatorship?....it covers everyone....

Then communism itself is the victim and should have its own memorial. I see a large granite loaf of bread which will surely draw a long line of people.

This is all well and good. You could even say there has never been a true, utopian Republic - but for all intents and purposes Soviet Russia was a communist nation. Stalin drug them into in kicking and screaming.

A common trap... After the revolution, Lenin proclaimed himself a communist, his party communists, and his state a communist state to announce that had succeeded, gain supporters and anger his enemies(he called himself Bolshevik/socialist up to that point). Those socialists who didn't agree with him(which was by far the majority) didn't call themselves communists. Lenin wanted to export his version, calling himself a communist instead of a socialist was a symbol.
So, a communist is one who agrees with Lenin on how to do a revolution, how to keep it and how to build a state.
There are a lot of key differences between a Leninist and a more general Marxist, for example Lenin never wanted factories(the means of production) to be owned by the workers of that factory, but rather by the workers through the revolutionary state(though whether he wanted to hand over that control as the revolution ended is unknown, as he died before his state got a really strong position...).
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
