Sinking of the British troop ship Rohna

Evangilder:

I totally understand you.

I expect that for future debatings you will understand my style of pointing things out.


Trackend:

I do think it would be silly to heat up debating what regime was worse. I do not think it is necessary to go there. I agree with you, it is a matter of opinion.

It is human life what should matter, and it in terms of loss of human life it was the soviet communist system who deported and murdered (by far) the most human beings. This is docummented; the only issue pending some more accuracy is how many millions died due to the terror of the soviet communist regime (especially during Stalin´s stay in office, continued -with less intensity- with Bulganin and Khruschev and those who followed).

There are several interesting works focused on this matter. I for one would recommend "Le Livre Noir du Communisme: Terreur, Repression, Crime". Stephane Curtoise and co-authors.

I assume you do know communism strived for dominating the planet.

Quoting you again, it is a matter of opinion, and of personal taste that will lead each individual to prefer the bolsheviks over the nazis, or vice-versa.
On that, none of us can control anything.

I dont know, the Nazi regime was pretty clear in the annialation of a whole race. Yes Stalin killed his own people also and we may never know how many because of the Iron Curtain but it is hard to top what Hitler did.

Udet, thanks for that. I think we all get passionate about history to some extent or another. For me, I try to look at the facts and try to investigate which is true or if neither is when there are conflicts. All sides are guilty of mis-claims and the like, the degree of which is dependant on the source, of course.

You have indeed made some good points. If you tone down the political parts of them a bit, it would be good. I don't necessarily disagree with your message, just sometimes the delivery. Peace.

Agreed
