Why the Hammer and Sickle Should Be Treated Like the Swastika - Foundation for Economic Education

Why the Hammer and Sickle Should Be Treated Like the Swastika - Foundation for Economic Education:

• Why do we treat two equally bloody ideologies in such starkly different ways?

"If someone were to ask you to think of either extreme of the political spectrum, odds are you would immediately picture a swastika at one end and a hammer and sickle at the other. 

...Upon seeing a swastika, we are immediately reminded of the evils of the Nazi regime and are accordingly repulsed.
To publicly display the logo is even a crime in many European countries. 
We understand how abhorrent the ideology is and treat it accordingly with disrespect and disgust.

But how do we react to the hammer and sickle?
I don’t have to write an article explaining the millions of deaths that occurred at the hands of communist regimes; like the Holocaust, the gulags of the Soviet Union and killing fields of Cambodia are widely known.

• Yet journalists in the UK openly and proudly advocate communism. 
• Statues of Karl Marx are erected. 
• Even in the US, historically one of the most passionately anti-communist states in history, there is a statue of Vladimir Lenin in the northwestern city of Seattle.

So why exactly do we treat two equally bloody ideologies in such starkly different ways?...

"Why are there no protests?"-----Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today---Michael Smith
"...Whether it was with specific intent, depraved indifference or simple incompetence isn't a issue for me - logic says that there were infinite ways to restrain Mr. Floyd and Officer Chauvin chose the one that caused the death.
By you and I are aware of another white government official, actually two of them, who, through their actions caused the death of 6,000 innocent people - many of them black.
I'm talking, of course, about Andrew Cuomo and Kaiser Wilhelm de Blasio.
Why are there no protests?
Compared to Chauvin, Cuomo is a mass murderer.
Why are we not having marches in major cities and a national discussion about how a full 40% of the Covid-19 deaths - 40,600 - were in nursing homes across this country with most coming from states where Democrat governors reign?...

Ex-Baltimore mayor, once convicted of embezzlement, now favorite to fill seat of mayor convicted of fraud | Fox News
"The Baltimore mayoral seat that was vacated last year when Catherine Pugh resigned over a corruption scandal -- which led to a three-year prison sentence -- now appears likely to be filled by a former mayor who has a past conviction of her own.

With Democratic primary returns still coming in after Tuesday’s vote, the front-runner appears to be Sheila Dixon, who resigned as mayor in 2010 after a jury found her guilty of misdemeanor embezzlement for misappropriating gift cards for the poor...

Minneapolis City Council Looking At Disbanding Entire Police Department
"Minneapolis City Ward Three Councilor Steve Fletcher made the revelation in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
...He tweeted that he and “several” of his fellow city council members “are working on finding out what it would take to disband the MPD.”
Fletcher said they would like to replace the city’s police force by starting “fresh with a community-oriented, non-violent public safety and outreach” model.

• “Our city needs a public safety capacity that doesn’t fear our residents. 
• That doesn’t need a gun at a community meeting. 
• That considers itself part of our community. 
• That doesn’t resort quickly to pepper spray when people are understandably angry. 
• That doesn’t murder black men,” Fletcher wrote.
