The 'Die Hard' Left is exactly that

Reader comment on item: Sweden's Populist Surge

Submitted by Doug Mayfield (United States), Aug 27, 2015 at 05:59

Thank you for the article. One certainly hopes that self preservation will bring Sweden and the rest of socilaist Europe to its senses before it is too late.

But the dedicated Lefties, who embrace socialism and nihilism (Will the real Obama ever be revealed in the MSM?), have been excusing, or outright covering up, the mass slaughter in Left wing regimes around the world for nearly a century.

Leftie groupies shrug off true Leftists like Mao, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, Pol Pot, etc., who have murdered tens or hundreds of millions.

If you're a true socialist, people being slaughtered is just 'the cost of doing business', that is, the cost of achieving the perfect socialist state. As they might say, 'You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."
