The BBC is paying ideologues using taxpayers money to run Communist apologetics and rehabilitation of mass murder. Thankfully, there is still some sense in some tiny portions of the British media. Tim Stanley issues a good response against the radical left and marxists. --------------- The (radical) Left is trying to rehabilitate Karl Marx. Lets remind them of the millions who died in his name I cant quite believe that Ive just sat through ten minutes of BBC television in which British journalists Owen Jones and Zoe Williams have defended Karl Marx as the prophet of the End of Capitalism. Unbelievable because I had thought Marxism was over with the fall of the Berlin Wall – when we discovered that socialism was one part bloodshed, one part farce. But unbelievable also because youd have to be a pretty lacking in moral sensitivity to defend a thinker whose work sent millions of people to an early grave. I dont want to have to rehearse the numbers but, apparently, theyre not being taught in schools anymore – so here goes. Sixty-five million were murdered in China – starved, hounded to suicide, shot as class traitors. Twenty million in the USSR, 2 million in North Korea, 1.7 million in Africa. The nightmare of Cambodia (2 million dead) is especially vivid. Reactionaries were sorted out from the base population on the grounds of being supporters of the old regime, having gone to school or just for wearing glasses. They were taken to the side of paddy fields and hacked to death by teenagers. blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100244023/the-left-is-trying-to-rehabilitate-karl-marx-lets-remind-them-of-the-millions-who-died-in-his-name/
