BLIND APOCALYPTO

I have just today finished reading a novel and a non-fiction book on the horrors of the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. Both bought tears to my eyes.

The inhumanity of man towards his fellow creatures and the tragic reality that because of 'total depravity' we are all capable of becoming the monsters that peopled the SS and those who supported them. In fact the in the book 'Ordinary Men' the point is made that it was not only the SS that undertook these horrors, but ordinary everyday men and women as well.

After the second world war many thought that such a thing could never happen again.
Unfortunately it did, very quickly, and if possible far, far worse.

Solzhenitsyn bore witness to that.

Lenin, Stalin and their successors made the Nazi horrors look piffling.
Mao outdid them all.
Pol Pot annihilated one third of his country.
Mugabe plunged his country into starvation and a chaos which is accelerating as I write.
Hugo Chavez caused one of the richest countries in South America to flounder towards its deathbed.
Fidel and his brother ransacked and impoverished Cuba.

These are but a few legacies of the ideology which made the Nazi's look mild in comparison.....

AND YET OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WESTERN WORLD LOOK WITH FAVOUR UPON THE SOCIALIST DOCTRINES.

How is it possible one might ask, that given all the historical and experiential evidence that has been amassed over the past 100 years that anybody, never mind millions of free people, could once more be seduced by such a demonic philosophy.

It has to be more than blindness and stupidity....I confess it escapes my birdbrain, though perhaps this discussion might shed some light on the issue:
