[lbo-talk] Surpassing the Gulag in Scale

[Tom Walker]

"Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil 
passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political 
parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all 
human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. 
Even within hearts overwhlemed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is 
retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small 
corner of evil."

The great tragedy of Solzhenitsyn is that his message has been been 
"simplified" by the commercial mass media and professional 
anti-communism to read: "Communism evil; therefore USA militarism good."
