Excellent, the world needs a source of truth, we certainly aren't
getting it from the corporate controlled media in the "LAND OF THE
FREE AND HOME OF THE DECEIVED..."

Is Communism Dead?
Lee Wha Rang - 09/21/96
Some Western press and politicos have been saying that "Communism is
dead" and that North Korea is the only remaining "Stalinist" country -
which too is about to collapse.

The fact is that Communism is very much alive. Communism has not died,
but it's main ideas have been absorbed into other political
ideologies, just as pre-Christ religious beliefs were gradually
adapted into Christianity and other religions (In fact, on e finds
many Christian ideals in Communism.)

Where is Communism alive today? There are 'Communist' parties in many
countries, but only few governments today are controlled by so-called
'Communists' (Cuba, China, N Korea, Vietnam, and a number of the
former Soviet-bloc nations). It may sound stran ge but many Communist
ideas are alive and well in the United States (there is 'Communist
Party of USA' which has a presidential candidate for the November
election) and other democratic, socialist and indeed, dictatorial
nations.
Is America Red?

In the good old 'anti-Communist' US of A, one finds many Communist

Communists or Nationalists?
It should be noted that not all 'Communists' practice the Communism in
the 'pure' form envisioned by Marx and Engels. Stalin used Communism
to enslave and hold together the Soviet Union. Mao Zedong used it to
obtain funds and support from Commintern unt il his excommunication,
Gen. Li Tong Whi (a Korean anti-Japanese partisan leader) joined the
Party in order to be eligible for Lenin's rubles, Ho Chi-min joined
the Party to feed and equip his anti-French troops. Both Mao and Ho
hated Stalin's haughty at titude toward the 'fraternal Communist
Parties', and both men had approached Uncle Sam for money and weapons,
only to be rebuffed by the 'anti-Red' State Dept.

North Korea's Kim Il Sung joined the Communist Party in his teens and
worshipped Stalin. The S Korean troops which occupied Pyongyang in
1950 found Kim's office adorned with numerous portraits and statues of
Stalin. But Stalin's lukewarm support for his war efforts and even
less support from Stalin's heirs put dampers on Kim's love for the
Soviets. Kim realized that the Soviets were just another breed of
imperialists looking for suckers.

After the Korean War, Kim became more nationalistic and less
Communistic. He purged pro-Soviet Koreans and the old-guard Communists
from S Korea and devised his own political ideology - juche. This
earned him much scorn and derision from the 'authentic' Communists who
broke ties with N Korea. For example, the Japanese Communist Party
opposes N Korea, and the former Soviet Communist Party shunned Kim Il
Sung.

While Communism was used by various nationalists and dictators, the
'anti-Communists' used it to their advantage. Communism has never been
the monolithic evil Empire out to enslave every one. Domino theories
and 'evil empires' existed only in the minds o f politicians who were
more interested in protecting their dung hills than facing the truth.
