One of Marx’s disciples, Stalin, killed more than 20 million of his own citizens in peacetime. Further millions more were kept in Siberian prisons for opposing Marx. Stalin is the second greatest mass murder in history, only Marx’s Chinese disciple Mao would manage to kill more, but many Democrats and Atheists would somehow find a way to compliment both Stalin and the political system he represented. Here are a few whose leftist politics and metaphysical assumptions made them useful idiots to Stalin...
Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt called Stalin, the murderer of 20 million , “Uncle Joe”. He said that Stalin had taught him how “a Christian gentleman should behave .” He had about as naïve a view of Stalin as could be conceived. FDR said his policy toward Stalin was to “give him everything I possibly can and ask nothing from him in return… [and may be] he won’t try to annex anything and will work with me for a world of democracy and peace .” How did that work out for a President whom many current Democrats still admire? Following World War II, Stalin annexed all of Eastern Europe. His communist Red Army may have raped up to two million German women. There were no democratic elections in Eastern Europe, and the Communists would not relinquish control of these countries for the next 40 years.
Democrat thinking shares certain underlying assumptions with Communism that routinely cause Democrats to applaud regimes that are adamantly against the rights and freedoms that the Constitution protects. Whether it was FDR admiring Stalin or a current New York Times columnist applauding the way that the current authoritarian Chinese Communist Party gets things done, the leftist mindset always makes Democrats useful idiots.
