'Communists have no class' worn by an activist i know from in the day when activism was active...   now so infra dig? Disappointing.

"Anyone who thinks that the Communist regimes...are exclusively the work of criminals is overlooking a basic truth: the criminal regimes were...by enthusiasts convinced they had discovered the only road to paradise....they defended that road so valiantly that they were forced to execute many people. Later it became clear that there was no paradise, that the enthusiasts were therefore murderers.

Then everyone took to shouting at the Communists: You're the ones responsible for our country's misfortunes....

And the accused responded: We didnt know! We were deceived! We were true believers!...we are innocent!

Did they really not know or were they merely making believe?"
