"Over the past two weeks, nearly 200 UC Berkeley students took a simple, multiple choice quiz on the history of the communist revolutions of the 20th century. On average they correctly answered only 41% of the time. This is a shameful state of affairs.
The reason for this is that at UC Berkeley, basic, well-documented facts and understanding about these revolutions have been misrepresented, distorted, and suppressed.
We charge the UC Berkeley administration with creating, tolerating and perpetuating a state of enforced ignorance, and gravely constricting intellectual discourse and critical inquiry."
---Revolutionaries deliver an indictment to the office of UCB Vice Chancellor and Provost George Breslauer.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen:
"INDIA had in terms of morbidity mortality and longevity suffered an excess in mortality over china of close to 4 MILLION deaths a year during the SAME time period... Thus in this one geographical area alone more deaths resulted from this failed capitalist experiment (more than 100 million by 1980) than can be attributed to the 'failed communist experiment' all over the world since 1917"!!!

Can I get a copy of the quiz questions? I'm sure I'll do way better than 41%, if you know what I mean.

Doesn't Ray Lotta have to laugh himself about the mindless, delusional nonsense where no sentence stands proof to reality??
Go on his website. thisiscommunism . org Never read anything more delusional than that.

If it weren't so sad for the hundreds of millions died under communism, I would laugh my ass off about this political satire.

Guys like Raymond Lotta tell this rubbish because they built their rubbish career around it. I am still curious to find out whether he himself really believes the nonsense he is babbling or not.
I mean we all now what communism is about:

"On average they (students) correctly answered only 41% of the time."
Hmmm. Well considering that the people who marked those tests probably believed that Stalin and Mao were nice guys, I wouldn't put much faith in the accuracy of that statistic.

Hitler is the complete and utter opposite of communism. These people are in college yet their minds are blocked off from the real world.
