50th anniversary of the beginning of the end
What destroyed Communism was the revelation that the system was based on lies and compulsion. All the glorious revolutionary rhetoric proclaiming victory for the workers, and equality for all, was shown to be a lie. The people living in the "workers paradises" of Eastern Europe were being held in thrall, as hostages, by the Russia army; walls were built to keep people from fleeing. Few were clamoring to enter.
The analogy with Islamofascism is clear. It is a totalitarian system that depends on controlling the thinking of its subjects; truth is dangerous to such a system. The Imams who spread hate and deceit are the spiritual heirs of Stalin and Hitler, men who used lies to destroy people's ability to think. Their crimes did not only involve destroying their opponents; they also destroyed the ability of their allies and their countrymen to think and perceive.
Today we see a mighty confluence of haters who justify murder in the name of their intolerant and insecure God, along with weak minded and duplicitous allies in the West who seek to consciously or unconsciously undermine their own social order and support the totalitarian system of the Islamofascists, just as so many once supported the lies of the old Soviet Union.
