Not long ago there was some discussion on the wsn about anti-communist
propaganda. The website on 'democide' is of interest as an extreme example
of this type of propaganda.
'Freedom', it explains, brings economic prosperity, since freedom means
private entrepreneurship without government interference. Democratic
Freedom is of course capitalist liberal democracy, the right to vote every
two years or so...etc. If you have any doubts there are colourful graphs
and statistics empirically proving the superiority of capitalist freedom
over communist demagoguery... Glad I've cleared that up.
