It takes heroic Poland – and the truth about Katyn – to show us how evil Communism is

I’m an unashamed Polonophile. If you grew up in a certain kind of Irish-British Catholic household in the 1980s, Poland was a heroic and tragic fairytale kingdom that, having endured the neo-pagan Nazis, was now held captive by the godless Soviets – and yet maintained its faith, chivarly and honour.
The story of medieval Christian chivalry battling against the monstrous modernists had a Tolkienesque grandeur to it (or Lucasian, you could stay – Star Wars has similar themes) and the election of John Paul II, and the overthrow of the Communists in early 1989, was the end of the hero’s journey. The Evil Empire was destroyed.
Katyn tells the truth about Communism / Socialism emphasis added

The socialists aren’t killing anybody but they are on their way. see Palin, Miss USA contestant, Clarence Thomas etc. etc. etc.

Kristallnacht, might not be too far away.

“Having demolished dwellings and hurled most of the moveable effects to the
streets,” he wrote, “the insatiably sadistic perpetrators threw many of the
trembling inmates into a small stream that flows through the zoological park,
commanding horrified spectators to spit at them, defile them with mud and jeer
at their plight.”

Sounds like the mobs that were sent to demonstrate in front of the homes of the recipients of the AIG bonuses.

An incident several days earlier had given the Nazi
authorities an excuse to instigate the violence. On November 7th, a 17-year-old
Polish Jewish student named Hershel Grynszpan had shot Ernst vom Rath, the Third
Secretary of the German Embassy in Paris. Grynszpan, enraged by the deportation
of his parents to Poland from Hanover, Germany, where they had lived since 1914,
hoped that his dramatic action would alert the world to the ominous plight of
Europe’s Jews. When the French police arrested Grynszpan, he sobbed: “Being a
Jew is not a crime. I am not a dog. I have a right to live and the Jewish people
have a right to exist on earth. Wherever I have been I have been chased like an
animal.” The assassination attempt was successful; vom Rath died on November
9th.
