In 1989, after 70 years of tyranny, Soviet communism collapsed. Why? Was it voted out? LOL. Did it collapse because of economic hardships? The economic hardships were far worse in the 1930s when Stalin starved millions of peasant farmers to death. (In the 1980s, the West was propping up the USSR by buying raw materials. Also the Western military-industrial complex may have been secretly supporting massive subsidies to prop up their favorite straw man.) Did Star Wars defeat the Soviet Union? Russia had survived a much more serious military threat from Hitler. The real reason Soviet communism collapsed was the failure of its foundation of lies. Despite all its propaganda and censorship, the Soviet empire could no longer seal out the truth. The subjugated people behind the Iron Curtain learned that the Soviet government was not only a malevolent blood-sucking monster - it was also a feeble mindless slug. The terrorist slave-masters had always trembled in terror because they knew they were outnumbered 100-to-one by the slaves. Once the slaves understood that, it was all over. ~ Ray Smith
