Cryptic communists
Snapped on the Rainy Day birthday last week at the Soviet War memorial in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park beside the Imperial War Museum in London. 
But where's the London memorial for the millions the Soviets starved to death in the Ukraine? And where's the memorial for the tens of millions starved in Mao's China? "No one is forgotten," say the sympathizers, but this is selective memory of the worst kind.
By the way, this would be the ideal year to erect memorials to the gulags and the Little Red Book because of all the talk about 1968. That was the year when morally irresponsible brats chanted Marxist, Trotskyite and Maoist slogans. Remember? It was a time of "playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot," to quote George Orwell. Imagine Mao's murderous "cultural revolution" being held up as a model for Europe? Farcical now, of course, but it did happen. This absurdity reached its ridiculous zenith when Rudi Dutschke told the 1968 Vietnam congress in West Berlin that the Vietcong were "revolutionary forces of liberation" and their liberating truths had been discovered through "the specific relationship of production of the student producers." What was he smoking? But the 1968 Marxists and Maoists who have done so much harm to society will soon depart the stage and it will fall to the lot of the Johnsons and the Camerons to roll back the damage. "No one is forgotten. Nothing is forgotten." Those words should grace the memorials to the childish follies of 1968 and the crimes of communism.
