part 2

The Berlin Wall fell for a reason. It would be foolish to consider trying to rebuild it - and all it represents - today.

typical western marxist accepting capitalist framing of USSR. 15-20 million you're going to let that be the number??? "the soviet union was a HORRIBLE place" oy vey

Is this part of a one off documentary or a series?

It is from this one interview

Elsewhere in the interview he says he would've been cool with murdering 20 million people for the sake of the radiant tomorrow.

j'ai crus c'était le mec au début

He conflates people killed in war with people "simply" murdered. A better comparison would be if the Holocaust had brought about a "radiant tomorrow" would it have been justified, because the murder of people by communist regimes was more like that than people being killed in WWI

gibberish?

It's helpful to be reminded of the perverse intellectual contortions otherwise intelligent people had to perform to defend communism.

How could such a brilliant man believe such rubbish?
