       about commies is 100% mccarthyst propaganda. It is just
       typical americunt war propaganda with completely made up
       numbers.
   I don't find that calling it "mccarthyist propaganda" is particularly
   persuasive.  We may hate Joseph McCarthy for his tactics, but there
   WERE many valid reasons to object to Communism and Socialism in the
   early 1950's.
   As for the "completely made up numbers", which numbers do you believe
   to be valid?  I frequently say that in the 20th Century, about 250
   million people were killed by government, including in wars.  Far more
   of those deaths seem to be caused by Communist/Socialist governments
   than by Fascist governments.  And, as you might recall, I was reminded
   nearly two years ago (from the Wikipedia article on Benito Mussolini)
   that "Fascism" is essentially Socialism, and probably doesn't deserve
   to be called "right wing" as many people seem to do at this point.
