		<description>the best text Ayn Rand produced was her testimony to House committee on  anti-american activity: check it out

Ayn did not believe in God, so all her work is not worth real attentions,
if she influenced people- well, not enough

it looks like USA will not be able to protect itself from communist attack coming soon:

Ayn should be more smart and realize that GOD is the only guidance

God Bless USA</description>

		<description>For decades, communism and nazism were defined as opposites. 

It was in Ayn Rand&#039;s 1943 novel, THE FOUNTAINHEAD that Rand defined the two systems as variations on a theme: one demanded you sacrifice for the state, the other demanded you sacrifice for the race. Both systems were based on sacrifice and altruism. By putting a new ethical base: rational self-interest beneath the American political system of laissez-faire capitalism. Rand greatly undermined Communism. 

Rand had grown up in the Soviet Union and her novels WE THE LIVING although not as horrifying as the Gulag and  Ivan Denisovich novels explained how these horrors were possible. 

Once you undercut an individual&#039;s RIGHTS in favor of those of &quot;society&quot; a non-existent entity which you are immediately excluded from the moment the state turns against you, any horror is possible. 

Unions claim that the working man is responsible for this country&#039;s greatness. In ATLAS SHRUGGED, Rand demonstrated that it is the thinking man who is responsible and if he goes on strike, society falls apart. 

Rand, Buckley, Tom Clancy&#039;s RED STORM RISING (in which the Soviet Union starts World War III in pursuit of oil) the Polish Pope, Maggie Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Charlie Wilson (CHARLIE WILSON&#039;S WAR) all had starring roles in bringing down the Soviet Union. 

Then, instead of doing the equivalent of &quot;de-nazifing the society, President Clinton urged the Russians to &quot;forgive and forget.&quot; Wait. It gets better. When the Clinton White House was asked by the Russians for help in setting up a new legal system, the Clinton White House suggested the Russians watch LAW AND ORDER. 

Left-wing Democrats, communists and Islamicist don&#039;t think in terms of principles and concepts. That is their weakness and should be our strength.</description>

		<description>Javelin:
he was a KGB agent a high flyer, very important operative:
his function was to sufficiently decrease the UNDERSTANDING of the scale of genocides KREMLIN conducted in USSR and in the world

Krushev wanted to survive personally and save the regime:

------------------------
Solzh antisemitism and anti-ukrainianism is a key

Zionism and Ukrainian Nationalism were always considered by the enemy to be the most threatening movements to soviet regime

they even dispatched Stashinski to kill 2 most important `enemies`:

Bandera and Rebet in Germany: both were leaders of Ukrainian nationalism, Rebet was Jewish

Ukrainians continued armed resistance up until the 60s

in 1949 there were tens of thousands communists killed by UPA and over 10 thousands UPA bunkers captured by NKVD

it was a large scale partisan war with 100s of thousands of UPA fighters involved

In 1918 when 1st Ukrainian state UNR was established and soldiers came back from WW1 : Ukraine had an army of several hundred thousands willing to fight:

socialist government, those traitors, dismissed the army on Kremlin&#039; order-
even though Ukrainians could crash bolshevism in 1 month: they were ready and willing(((((

It took Stalin to organize a famine in Ukraine to somehow secure the existence of USSR in 1932-33

		<description>It&#039;s nice to see Mr. Blumer throw his juvenile right wing politicking into his obituary. You can slam Gorbachev all you want, but if it wasn&#039;t for good people like him at the top, certainly better than a blog rat like you, the Soviet Union could have kept on going. If the USSR had a capable and ruthless ideologue leader he could have reformed and consolidated things enough to prolong the agony. Gorbachev had to deal with hard liners at home so it was impossible for him to quit the Communist party and join the Republican party. A softheaded little dweeb like Blumer has no conception what a leader in a country like that had to contend with, so he can keep his cheap partisan historical rants to himself if he had any sense of integrity. I don&#039;t think that McCain&#039;s prison experience is going to give him any leverage in dealing with North Korea or Vietnam, unless there are brave, liberal reformers in those places willing to compromise with us.</description>

		<description>Benafsheh,
You&#039;re not Kim Zigfeld are you??? I know you don&#039;t care for the Russians making deals with the mullahs, who probably had Klebnikov killed, but the oligarchs and people in power are just taking what kickbacks they can from deals with Iran. I don&#039;t think they actually view Iran as a blood brother or ally, just a convenient party to annoy the U.S. with and make some money at the same time off of. 

Seriously, KZ, and the Cold War fanatic Kabud, hate Russia and Russians. And worst of all, in the name of saving them, this Pharisee-like online anonymous collective troll shows no compassion for them whatsover.

If Russia really were lurching back to the Soviet model, Solzhenitsyn would have recognized it and called it. The fact that he saw Russia&#039;s problems as more spiritual and moral than political and economic is hard for Westerners to accept, as is his statement that Putin just barely did what was possible - marshall oil wealth to try and put the country back together again, whether Humpty Dumpty can be put back together again or not. This was not exactly a ringing endorsement, just an acknowledgement of reality.

What idiot really thinks that if the men in the Kremlin suddenly became angels, Russia would stop losing population, stop killing itself with alcohol, drugs, AIDS, and bribes? And yet I see no compassion whatsoever for ordinary Russians from KZ contributor Pajamas Media, just good riddance. When a weak Russia becomes absorbed into Greater China and the Global Caliphate forty or fifty years hence, will KZ be happy? Bzerzinski and the others who always viewed the retreat and humiliation of Russian power as a good thing will long be dead and gone, but their legacy will remain. Russia needs the West desperately, and the West actually still needs Russia. Kissinger at least understands that Russia historically saved Europe, by sacrificing itself (usually inadvertently) - from the Mongols, from the Muslim Tartars, from the megalomaniac Napoleon, and from Hitler.

Solzhenitsyn said in his last interview with Der Spiegel that we would realize that someday, and come back together again as allies, just as we did in the Boxer Rebellion, WWI and WWII.</description>

		<description>uburoi:

u&#039;ve got to start thinking,
Judging from your other opinions here i know that educational system never explained to u how

but it actually may save your life

i am not sure who did more damage: openly leftist Carter 

or Reagan with his totally false and deceiving optimism 

same actually could be applied to current presidential run

Just ask yourself again and again:

why kremlin and china maintain WMD on the level FAR exceeding American

nobody is threatening them</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;And no amount of Orwellian historical revisionism can hide the fact that neocons called Reagan an appeaser and cut-and-runner, compared him to Nevil Chamberlain &lt;/i&gt;

You are absolutely correct. I, being a naive teenager at the time, was one of those anti-communists who fell for the anti-Reagan pro-neocon line. Norman Podhoretz excoriated the &quot;Reagan road to detente&quot; and talked of appeasement.

Following Reagan&#039;s death it was surreal listening to those who attacked him as an appeaser when he was in office claiming him as one of their own.</description>
