Stalin murdered more loyal Communists than Hitler got his hands on (under the Pact w/ AH, the CC of the Polish CP was turned over to Moscow to their "premature deaths, " (see Deutcher's piece on this in , "Marxism, Wars and Revolutions, " Verso Books and, for the earlier period, http://www.yale.edu/yup/books/082428.htm , "ENEMIES WITHIN THE GATES? : The Comintern and the Stalinist Repression, 1934-1939, " ed. William J. Chase Translation by Vadim A. Staklo. ), would your analogy then be that the Dalai Lama had shot in the back of head in a Tibetan Lubyanka http://www.fas.org/irp/world/russia/kgb/lubyanka.htm Buddhists after he got done feasting ooff of the labor of the peasantry?
Is anyone gonna read these New Left Review pieces and Michael Parenti? http://www.tibet.ca/wtnarchive/2002/6/23-2_1.html , "REFLECTIONS ON TIBET, " New Left Review 14, March-April 2002, or are polemics w/o supporting evidence gonna be the normon this thread? http://www.swans.com/library/art9/mparen01.html , "Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth, " by Michael Parenti. If Carrol, who won't see this, since he long ago announced I was in his, "kill file, " is gonnna spout off w/ his neo-maoist shtick comparing the DL to Uncle Joe, he might as well have more demogogy from Michael Parenti to reinforce his pov.
