  • State atheism, Xi Jinping, torture chambers, and concentrations camps for Uyghurs

    The enormously cruel and bad decision the Chinese politicians made – the concentration camps for Uyghurs. As a proponent of state atheism, I should be kind of sympathetic to China. The ban on religions is senseless but the government should make enormous pressure to eradicate religions which are nothing but disgusting phenomena. But in this…

  • Who brought more people alive? Capitalists or communists?

    It isn’t actually a joke. In fact, I am neither a communist nor a socialist. But the Czechoslovakian regime had higher natality than nowadays Czech Republic regime. My favorable regime is definitely non-communistic. There are some kinds of academic, press, and civic freedoms. You can read Karl Popper, Bertrand Rusell, and so on, the thing…

  • Stalin as a freedom of speech proponent

    We are living in a perverse world where only limited freedom of speech exists (excluding the USA). You can say something and you will be prosecuted. It is allowed to speak some opinions, but only those one suitable to the ruling elites. And if you touch some powerful groups you will be run over by…

  • Some of the propaganda is always right. The USA vs. the Soviet Union

    There is always some core truth in the propaganda. Of course, you would object, there is North Korean propaganda or there was Nazi one. Such propaganda is really deceitful. Let’s look at what the Soviet Union said about the USA and vice versa:The rule of the richestPolice brutalityInstitutionalized racismPeople are dying because they can’t afford…

  • Being a communist after the Russian Civil War is an act of insanity

    Back in the 1920s, there was huge propaganda against communism in the mainstream democratic press with the atrocities of the Russian Civil War culminating. The Russian czar was a cruel guy, however, the communists have made his cruelest crime a funny thing. The Western propaganda was right, communism was much worse than a democratic free-market…

  • Economical comparison between communist regime and democracy in the Czech Republic

    Some smart people often attached tables where they compare the average wage in the communist regime and the average now. They want to demonstrate how many loaves of bread, gasoline, flour you could have afforded in the previous regime and now. And of course, nowadays regime excels. However, my sensible reader feels some foul play.…

  • Don’t like capitalism? Move to North Korea

    An alleged Bill Gates’ quote: “Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.” In the post-communist Czech Republic, this point is quite often made by furious anti-communists. “Do you like communism? Then move to North Korea or Cuba!” Such a statement is, however, horribly flawed. Of course, nobody…

  • Communists have been torturing back then. What about now?

    Contrary to the common population’s opinion I am the biggest enemy of torture. Speaking of 2021 it is still prevalent at a colossal scale (notably in developing countries). In Czechoslovakia in the 1950s state-organized torture was extremely prevalent. Around 100 thousand people were imprisoned. Then the trend has started to reverse. In the 1980s two…

  • Murdering Obama vs. murdering communist Gottwald

    Yes, you know Barack Obama as a smiling guy with huge empathy. Such an innocent creature. I will prove you are wrong in this article when I will compare Obama with the former Czechoslovakian communist prime minister and then president Klement Gottwald. Imagine living under harsh Stalinist rule Klement Gottwald lived as a high-ranking Eastern…

  • Communists have been destroying lives. What about capitalism?

    Since the Czechoslovak communists have taken over the power in the late 1940’s huge repression occurred. Around 250 000 people were interned, 248 executed and 8 000 died in prisons. All because of the Stalinist repressions. Most of the people executed were communists sentenced in fabricated trials (some of them, of course, were spies). Klement…
