DENVERPOPS (5,379 posts)
26. For the 70 million Republican voters
that are educationally challenged, they only need to read: ANIMAL FARM........a book that any third grader can understand......
Stereotype much?
I read it years ago, and
unlike
DUmmie DENVERPOPS I knew and recognized it as
anti-Stalinist, written by a disillusioned Socialist.
But since we're into "challenges", DUmmies should read Solzhenitsyn's
Gulag Archipelago. It's not brief - 2500-3000 pages - but it's a stark picture of Leninist-Stalinist reality, what Marxian Socialism causes. For "extra credit" DUmmies willing to learn even more truth about their beloved Marxist Socialism should read Robert Conquest's
Harvest of Sorrow, which tells of Stalin's Ukrainian terror-famine.
She never learned specifics, but my Grandmother lost her brothers to Stalin, maybe in a Gulag, maybe in the Holodomor, maybe in "exile" in a desolate, unsettled, part of Siberia.
