I think this is the most brilliant thing I have read in recient memory. I’m not joking.
It presents several fundamental concepts in a succenct easy format.
Nazis and Soviets were both far left ideologies
Both seeked to further their ideologies through similar means
Both were a rejection of individualism in favor of group identity
Both were central planned economies
The only philosophical distinction between them was: Nazis wanted their group to defeat all other groups while Soviets wanted their group to assimilate all other groups
All of the other attempts at these governments are simply shades of the same thing
Adding adjectives to the word “socialism” cannot erase the evil fundamental to the word
There remain to this day efforts to revitalize the principles of socialism in national and international politics and these efforts must be opposed and struck down.
I think we make a mistake in seeing ideology as a line with right and left wings. It's more of a circle (it can be flat if you wish) that wraps around putting Nazis and communists together in the authoritarian section.
Too bad that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wasn't American. He was such an important voice in the opposition of communism. A memorial for him is very well deserved.
Cue the reeeeee

NAtional Zocialism = NAZI

I mean if we were only allowed to have statues of perfect men who led perfect lives, then we'd just have millions of statues of Jesus and no one else.
So does this mean there can be an Oprah in there? I don't want an Oprah in there...
I would LOVE to see a statue of the first responders in the 9/11 terrorist attacks!
