Communism Isn't So Bad, Let's Give It Another Shot!

The founders of communist Russia were great men. They had the interests of the Russians in mind when they enslaved them on collectivized farms to subsidize the newly nationalized factories. At least their hearts were in the right place.

You see, their only goal was to create an economy stronger than Western-style mixed economies. Nothing wrong with that. That their heart was in the right place was an automatic blank check to act however they needed to to achieve their utopia, including enslaving peasants and murdering 10 million troublemaking pro-freedom rebels. Anything goes in the name of collective good, such as exterminatiing 12 million Eastern Europeans so that Germany could get some much needed "room to live".

The Objectivists try to paint the debate as "freedom versus slavery". But in actuality the issue is slavery for a good cause, which is good, versus slavery for a bad cause, which is bad. Yes for Utilitarianism, slavery and human sacrifice!
