Reply #8: Thanks for the anecdotal confirmation. It is merely a matter of history.

Knowing the immutable laws of human history, and knowing that what the Busheviks are engaged in is merely one of the oldest stories in human history going back to the caves, I have no doubt.

All Totalitarianisms, whatever their policial rationale Left or Right, behave similarly.

That is why Nazism and Stalinism looked so much alike in spite of the fact that one was a Left Authoritarian and the other was from the Right.

From Caeser to the fictional Palpatine, Hitler to the ancient Antiochus Epiphanes, it has always been the same.

Totalitarianism comes in many forms, but really they are variations on the same theme in the end.
