(10,362 posts)The book is a slap in the face to the billions who suffered and still suffer under communist dictatorships, and to the tens of millions who died as a result. Communism always ends the same way: authoritarianism, mass killings and starvation.

Maybe if you actually read the book you could comment on it's contents a little more accurately. Any criticisms would be much more meaningful. It's a short book and doesn't use complicated language.

Yes, I do consider Naziism to be equal with communism.
Both "isms" are total failures and responsible for millions of people tortured, imprisoned and murdered.
