[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
There’s a reason why the History Channel is often, with dark whimsy, referred to as the Hitler Channel. As I scrolled through the online TV Guide recently to check out the channel’s scheduled programming for the next few days, I discovered shows entitled The Nazis’ Secret Bases, Secrets of the Nazi War Machine, and Hitler’s Celebrations of Hate – not to mention several programs about D-Day and the ensuing “battles for Europe” between the Western Allies and the Nazis.
There was nothing remotely touching on the Soviet Union.
This is very much par for the course. Similarly, it’s no surprise that while a great many major feature films have been made about Nazi Germany, among them The Pianist, Downfall, Sophie’s Choice, Schindler’s List, Valkyrie, and Shoah, there’s only a scattering of lesser-known Hollywood pictures about the Soviet Union – notably, the obscure Gulag movie Escape from Sobibor and the TV biopic Stalin starring Robert Duvall.
Why this dramatic disparity? Because the people who write and produce feature films for the major studios, or documentaries for clients like the History Channel, have an entirely appropriate contempt for Hitler and everything he stood for. But the Russian Revolution? Lenin? Many of them – whose knowledge of history tends to have been shaped by left-wing university professors – have something of a soft spot for the people who overthrew the Romanovs. After all, the czars were pretty monstrous – most of them, anyway.
So it is that all too many people who want to make powerful films about history are happy to return yet again to the worst horrors of Nazism, but Soviet Communism? The most famous single movie about that topic is Reds, whose protagonist, the American journalist John Reed (Warren Beatty), was an eager fan of, and participant in, the Russian Revolution. Yes, the film ultimately acknowledges, sort of, that the revolution turned out not to be everything that Reed thought it was – but along the way to that conclusion we’re given a hell of a lot of stirring, heroic images of Lenin and company doing their thing.
Given the almost total failure of the History Channel to provide the kind of content about Soviet Communism that it constantly serves up about Nazism, the eight-episode documentary An Empire of Terror, is an exceedingly welcome corrective – and an absolutely terrific one. Written and narrated by Bill Whittle, and beautifully produced by Daily Wire+, it’s comprehensive, fast-moving, and horrifically graphic.
It can seem obscene to compare the regime of one mass-murdering tyrant with that of another. But Whittle reminds us that while Hitler wiped out millions of Jews, gypsies, Poles, and others, there were plenty of people living in Nazi Germany who had little to fear from him. Unlike Lenin and Stalin, he didn’t make a habit of randomly wiping out high-ranking members of his government, or slaughtering whole segments of the (non-Jewish) German population, or of turning one group of (non-Jewish) Germans against each other in order to stir up savage warfare.
Then there’s this: if you go to Germany today, you’ll keep running across memorials to the people murdered by the Nazis (and, later, by the East German Communists). Not in Russia. Whittle takes us to buildings in the very heart of Moscow where countless enemies of the state were murdered, one of which now houses a high-end jeweler. There’s nothing whatsoever to inform passersby of the gruesome history of these places. Whittle also points out that the world’s first death camp – run by the USSR – predated Auschwitz by years.
He doesn’t start with the Communists. He goes back to the czarist era, a time, mostly, of endless, irrational violence beyond description. Yes, all countries have their unpleasant periods. Beginning in 1789, France underwent decades of violent revolution and the devastating Napoleonic Wars. Germany experienced the relatively brief but savage nightmare of Nazism, and America had its bloody four-year Civil War. But to watch this series is to be reminded that when it comes to a history of constant, mind-blowing violence, every other Western country takes a back seat to Russia.
That history goes back a long way and it’s never really stopped. The czars persecuted the peasants. The Bolsheviks victimized the kulaks. And so on. One wave of cruelty succeeded another. No one was spared – not women, not children. And the abuse took a variety of horrific forms, many of them beyond the reach of the ordinary Western imagination. There were indescribable varieties of torture, executions that were committed in such massive numbers and with such rapidity that the killers were at a loss as to what to do with all the corpses.
But the focus of An Empire of Terror is on the closing days of the czarist era, the Russian Revolutions of February and October 1917, and the early years of what came to be known as the Soviet Union.
The first revolution provided a moment of hope. Alexander Kerensky, the man who ran the country after the removal of the Romanovs, was a remarkably decent character, genuinely devoted to the rights and welfare of his people. He was immensely popular. But he had a tragic flaw – vanity. It proved self-destructive. He moved into the czar’s palace in Saint Petersburg, renamed Petrograd, and even had a notorious photograph taken of himself at the czar’s desk. In short, he began to act a bit like a czar himself.
Kerensky’s installation hardly brought peace to Russia. There was still chaos in the streets. Some agitators on the political right were determined to restore the Romanovs, and Kerensky viewed them as a serious threat to his power. What he didn’t realize was that the real danger was the Bolsheviks. Lenin had been hiding out abroad for many years, but Kerensky, foolishly believing that he was too extreme to appeal to the masses, gave him permission to return to Russia.
What Kerensky didn’t realize was that Bolsheviks were being heavily funded by the German Empire. The Great War was on, and Germany wanted Lenin to take power so that he could pull Russia out of the conflict. It was Germany that paid the bills for the Bolshevik newspaper, Pravda, which was widely distributed and which stirred up Bolshevik sympathies among literate Russians.
As it happens, Lenin ended up overthrowing Kerensky easily. Lenin’s forces were poorly trained and organized, but Kerensky’s were even worse. So low-key was the takeover that virtually nobody in Petrograd even knew that a revolution was underway in their midst. As Whittle puts it, no more than ten thousand people – a tiny fraction of the number of people in Petrograd that evening, many of them dining out or attending the theater – were involved in what would later be portrayed by the filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, in his film October, as a monumental struggle.
It all happened in the course of a few hours. And it was a tragedy not just for Russia but for the twentieth-century world. Had Kerensky remained in power, Russia would have headed down an entirely different road. It would likely have experienced Western-style freedom and economic development. There would have been no collective farming, no Holodomor, no show trials, no Cold War.
Lenin and his October revolutionaries wasted no time carrying out their policies. They brutalized the nobles. They shot 200 striking metal workers to death. They crammed thousands of supposedly “rich” families – in fact, the people in question were just somewhat better off than most Russians, but hardly prosperous by even the Western standards of the time – into tiny, unheated apartments until they froze to death. Four to five million individuals were exterminated for the crime of being just a tad more prosperous than average. Red Army soldiers were allowed to rape these people’s daughters; Whittle tells horrific tales of sanctioned child rape.
Some well-off Russians – such as most of Vladimir Nabokov’s family – left Russia before they could be murdered. But millions stayed. Why? For the same reason that so many Jews, in the 1930s, would remain in Germany until it was too late to escape. As Whittle puts it, they “died of wishful thinking”: they simply couldn’t believe in “the strength of the Bolshevik regime” and fully expected it to expire very quickly.
It’s interesting, by the way, to learn about Kerensky’s after-story – he ended up in the US, spent some time at the Hoover Institution, and died at the age of 89 in a New York hospital, listening to the Beatles on the radio. He survived nearly everyone he had once known in Russia, most of whom had long since been brutally executed by the Communists.
Which of course was the essence of the Communist program: to kill, to crush, to eliminate. To destroy as much as possible, to exacerbate all social divisions, to intensify envy and entitlement and the love of chaos. The famous writer Maxim Gorky had been an anti-czarist revolutionary, but like many other intellectuals he recognized Lenin and his crew as an insane and terrifying force.
He wasn’t alone. Winston Churchill, as he later did with Hitler, instantly saw Lenin for what he was, calling him, in 1920, the leader of “a revolutionary and terrible sect of fanatics” who had plunged Russia into “terrible misery” and “barbarism.” Bolshevism, pronounced Churchill, “is not a policy, it is a disease.” Lloyd George, who at that point was prime minister of Britain and could easily have deposed Lenin and saved the world from Communism, was unfortunately not as perceptive about him as Churchill was.
Lenin had been an unsuccessful lawyer, and he proved to be a clueless administrator. He didn’t grasp that illiterate peasants weren’t knowledgeable enough to run the agricultural estates they took over from their former masters. Or that workers, put in charge of a factory, could manage it from Day One. But none of this mattered to Lenin, so long as he was able to hang on to power. The high-flown rhetoric about “the revolution” and “the people” was always a lie. The Bolshevik revolution was never about the well-being of ordinary Russians but about the maintenance of Lenin’s authority.
After vanquishing Kerensky, Lenin faced the challenge of another branch of Communists, the Mensheviks. To help bring them down, Lenin’s colleague, Leon Trotsky, hired former Czarist officers to lead some of his troops – and, in a typically charming Bolshevik touch, ensured their loyalty by holding their families hostage. Once Lenin wiped out the Mensheviks, he turned his sights on the so-called kulaks – namely, “wealthy peasants,” which in that era meant families who might own “a cow or two.” Lenin savaged them relentlessly, calling them “bloodsuckers” and “vampires” and encouraging other peasants to wreak havoc upon them. A great deal of cannibalism and other forms of brutality ensued. Clergy were executed in massive numbers. Innocent citizens were subjected to insanely imaginative forms of torture, some of them involving worms and starving rats.
Meanwhile Lenin’s agricultural policies led to mass starvation. Lenin demonized the U.S., but in response to the famine in Russia the U.S. government established the American Relief Administration, led by future President Herbert Hoover, which spent enormous sums to relieve Russian hunger. And how did the Communists respond? They kept the American food from their people, and instead sold it abroad in order to get their hands on hard currency – the ruble being worthless on the international market.
Eventually the famine got so bad that Lenin briefly permitted a free market to flourish. As a result, the economy boomed overnight. The people suddenly thrived. Emma Goldman, the ardent Communist writer and activist (she’s the one who was portrayed by Maureen Stapleton in Reds as a homey, down-to-earth idealist), was shocked to see with her own eyes that a free market could make such a positive difference. But soon enough Lenin shut it all down, and that was that.
At least a couple of generations of young Americans have been taught their modern history out of books like Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, which paint America in the worst light possible while routinely whitewashing Soviet Communism and depicting Lenin, in particular, as a hero. (As a rule, all the bad stuff, to the extent that it’s acknowledged at all, is attributed to Stalin.) Every American who’s been raised on such propaganda should watch Empire of Terror. When it’s over, they’ll be ashamed of their ignorance – and infuriated at the teachers who so outrageously misled them.
Whittle closes this dark but illuminating series with an anecdote about his Russian-born wife, Natasha. When she first came to America, he says, she was impressed beyond belief – not by the supermarkets or Manhattan skyscrapers or the gorgeous beaches of southern California, but by the simple friendliness of Americans, strangers who would strike up conversations at grocery stores and show her pictures of their children. The whole thing was alien to her. And, as Whittle says, there was one reason for that: “Her country went through hell, and mine didn’t.”

The Czars were moderates, compared to the Communists.

WE all know about the failure of Communism/socialism to bring about a workers’ paradise, so why is the world still doing everything it can to make the world a Communist world? It is true that the one thing we learn from history is that we have learned nothing from history. People are so stupid.
THX 1138 says
Why do people want socialism? Mostly it boils down to altruism.
So long as altruism is believed to be the highest and noblest virtue and duty of man there is no way to defeat socialism.
There is also the idea of Original Sin, that man is innately depraved, and if a moral elite, i.e., the government, doesn’t FORCE people to be kind and help each other, the world becomes dog-eat-dog.
“So long as people believe that socialized medicine [or any socialist welfare program] is a noble plan, there is no way to fight it. You cannot stop a noble plan–not if it really is noble. The only way you can defeat it is to unmask it–to show that it is the very opposite of noble. Then at least you have a fighting chance.
What is morality in this context? The American concept of it is officially stated in the Declaration of Independence. It upholds man’s unalienable, individual rights. The term “rights,” note, is a moral (not just a political) term; it tells us that a certain course of behavior is right, sanctioned, proper, a prerogative to be respected by others, not interfered with–and that anyone who violates a man’s rights is: wrong, morally wrong, unsanctioned, evil.
Now our only rights, the American viewpoint continues, are the rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. That’s all. According to the Founding Fathers, we are not born with a right to a trip to Disneyland, or a meal at McDonald’s, or a kidney dialysis. We have certain specific rights–and only these.
Why only these? Observe that all legitimate rights have one thing in common: they are rights to action, not to rewards from other people. The American rights impose no obligations on other people, merely the negative obligation to leave you alone. The system guarantees you the chance to work for what you want–not to be given it without effort by somebody else.” – Leonard Peikoff

Go back an re-read at least the bit about “rights” toward the end of his piece. I have studied this topic in the context of the original thirteen colonies from each one’s founding, and through the period of our war to throw off the British yoke of tyranny FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE of wresting back their RIGHTS (and thx has it exactly right on what “rights” are) from George Three’s minions as they sought to usurp, remove, deny, restrict, tax and regulate every one of our natural rights.
and yea, THX also has it absolutely correct that this same thing is happenning to us today as we slumber along, refusing to look at reality, and settling for some government trunkts nd “priviledges” we might enjoy.
I have RIGHT to keep and bear arms, end of santence. Today”s “gracious” state and local governments are doing all they can get off with in a concerted effort to try and remove that right. their battle is a tough one,seeing how so many millions hold fast to that right and understand WHY that is one of them spelled out in our Bill of Rights.
Take each of tose first ten Articles of Ammendment, carefully read through them, and then ponder how and why today’s governmen are earnestly working overtime, on OUR nickel, to remove each and every one of them.
WHY> The same reason Triusky and Lenin and Hitler all wanted to. They all know a people who do not understand their rights and treasure them will not fight very hard to keep them.
Give up your guns, WE will “protect” you. And on down the listt of them…..
One of them on the table these days seems to be “give up your right to select the officers who will lead this nation. WE will decide for you and you will like it.
Give up your right to grow/purchase whatever food YOU want toeat, We will decide for you what you can grow, and how you must do it. And we will feed you bugs and you will like them. (ever wondered how and why there have been so many “mysterious” fires destroying agricultural production and processing operations these past two years? Or why so many massive heards/flocks of healty animals have been ordered destroyed by government uffishulls?

“Why do people want socialism? Mostly it boils down to altruism”. Altruism my foot! People dream about socialism like the conquistadores dreamt about El Dorado – what’s in it for me? In their case, not gold riches, but self-glorification about helping install, if need be by force, a paradise on earth. And too bad for the victims of these calamitous attempts at installing socialism anywhere. It all comes down to David Horowitz’ quote : “Inside every progressive is a totallitarian screaming to get out”.
THX 1138 says
“The secret dread of modern intellectuals, liberals and conservatives alike, the unadmitted terror at the root of their anxiety, which all of their current irrationalities are intended to stave off and to disguise, is the unstated knowledge that Soviet Russia is the full, actual, literal, consistent embodiment of the morality of altruism, that Stalin did not corrupt a noble ideal, that this is the only way altruism has to be or can ever be practiced. If service and self-sacrifice are a moral ideal, and if the “selfishness” of human nature prevents men from leaping into sacrificial furnaces, there is no reason—no reason that a mystic moralist could name—why a dictator should not push them in at the point of bayonets—for their own good, or the good of humanity, or the good of posterity, or the good of the latest bureaucrat’s latest five-year plan. There is no reason that they can name to oppose any atrocity. The value of a man’s life? His right to exist? His right to pursue his own happiness? These are concepts that belong to [rational selfishness], individualism and capitalism—to the antithesis of the altruist morality.” – Ayn Rand

Domenic Pepe says
The bureaucrats and deep state of the Western countries need communism/socialism/totalitarian governments to maintain and expand their power. They are the beneficiaries of the deep state gravy train and they know it.
That is why they can not even reject and repudiate an obviously politically and morally corrupt Biden.
Because they know Biden and the leftist democrats will keep the deep state and government jobs and various government beneficiary programs going, regardless how bad and wasteful they are.
Big government is now so big that it cannot be reined in …. either by the leftist dems or the GOP.
Too many people now completely depend on big government, whether it is welfare, social security or Medicare/Medicaid, or university professors or the teachers and administrators in the educational system, or corporate bigwig billionaires. in the high tech industries. and the corrupt lying Media and Hollywood and Madison Ave. moguls.
America and its people now may actually be too fundamentally politically and morally corrupt to avert the Apocalypse that seems to be on its horizon. We will see.
They all know deep down that their personal gravy trains are very much dependent on the state, big government, and people like Biden, the Clintons, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, etc.etc.etc..
i.e. the professional permanent government class.
That is why, with all the corruption and misgovernment and bad policies by Biden and the dems, the difference between Biden and Trump in the polls is only a miniscule 2 to 5 percent.. Biden and the dems could easily win everything in November 2024 with just a little more push and creativeness from their choreography producing and directing Media hacks.

There was important financial backing for the Bolsheviks all right, but almost none of it came from “New York Bankers”, who had invested heavily in first the Tsar’s government and then even more so in the Provisional Republic that replaced him, and who the Bolsheviks screwed over by sweeping confiscations and reneging on debt.
The most important financial support for the Bolshevik coup came from the Central Powers, and particularly the same German Empire under the rule of totalitarian, proto-Fascist “War Socialists” like Erich Ludendorff, who saw themselves as fighting an ideological war against capitalism, constitutionalism, and an international Jewish-Freemason Conspiracy.
Of course, Lenin and his successors lied through their teeth about this for nearly a century afterwards due to how it would show they were brutal traitors to something they claimed was an ideological enemy, and also the ideological similarities between them.

When Communism fell, the Wall, the Iron Curtain, and the USSR fell, OURS were still recruiting at colleges as they had been since Vietnam but mainly in the ’80s when Reagan was calling the Soviets, The Evil Empire. NOW, FIFTY YEARS LATER, the Soviet KGB and CPUSA recruits are now running almost every university, entire departments are run by them, and then filled Congress and the White House! NOW….

To this day, 2,000 years later, Christians are still waiting for the Second Coming of Christ and then they claim they’ll have a perfect, eternal, supernatural, utopia on earth. They believe it against all facts.
You don’t have to be elderly or a Trotskyite to evade reality and immerse yourself in unreason and magical thinking.
At the base of Marxism and all supernatural, mystical, religion is the evasion of reality and an insistence on magical thinking.
“I believe that the medievals understood much better than the moderns on what basis to build a totalitarian society that would last and not collapse in less than a century. They did it and the people in the rising religious movement today know that full well. They’re the ones who have millions, upon millions, upon millions, of followers and a real insight into the fact that economics is not the crucial factor, but philosophy and culture are…. Religion has been the root of [totalitarianism] from the beginning, it has ruled in disguised forms, and still is, and now the disguise had to be stripped off… What socialism is doing is really helping religion, the bigger the statism, the more people grow accustomed to government rule over everything, the more people are ready for religionists to take over the lead from the more secular side… The socialists are building the basis for totalitarianism but only the religionists are going to cash in on it and take over.” – Leonard Peikoff

The Soviet Union had to fall with its geriatric ‘balcony wavers’, fringed lampshades and hours long lines for toilet paper. The Globalist rebirth of communism is something FAR more terrifying than Stalin.

The world is being conditioned to accept communism… even though communism is dead and a failure…
So why?
Because communism leads to Islamo0fascism…
Meanwhile so many hate the Jews and don’t even know why they do? <<< Because of satanic islam continually feeding the idea that the Jews are out to take over the world…
Meanwhile… satanic islam is taking over the world… with the help of our islamic loving Luciferian government of America…
satanic islam is the Antichrist Beast System… the only form of government in this world that has the 3 attributes of the Beast System…
1) Religion = islam
2) Economic banking… Sharia Finance
3) Government… Sharia Law
No other government in this world has all 3 attributes… only satanic islam does…
Which proves how Jewish created communism is not going to take over this world… since it doesn't have a religion…

Communism IS a religion. It originated out of Calvinist Christianity. Marx and Engels were inspired by John Calvin’s teachings.
Intrepid says
Well then, get off of your assets and work to overthrow it. All you ever do is give us the satanic islam cha cha from your computer.
sumsrent says
You don’t even know what satanic means…
Are you Ok with driving people into worshiping the fake god allah?
What does the One True Living God say about worshiping false gods?
And yet… your satanic fake church teaches how YOU worship the fake god allah…
You ain’t got a brain to figure it all out…

Author, Sobibor was a Nazi extermination camp in Poland, not part of the GULag. Escape from Sobibor is not a Gulag movie. This makes your argument even stronger. Communism, which has caused over 100 mln. deaths, has never been unequivocally condemned by the West, especially by its intelligentsia. It happily survives in the US as “Democratic Socialism” etc.

“Sobibor was a Nazi extermination camp in Poland,”
Factually incorrect. Sobibor was a Nazi extermination camp in the German General Government territory.
Poland ceased to exist after the German and Soviet partition of the former Polish state in 1939.

“Had Kerensky remained in power, Russia would have headed down an entirely different road. It would likely have experienced Western-style freedom and economic development. There would have been no collective farming, no Holodomor, no show trials, no Cold War.” What an immense illusion!
Several tsars, starting with Tsaritza Catherine the Great in the 18th century, had been conscious of the need of a society reform while realizing that the russian people would never accept it. Tsar Alexander II, “the Tsar liberator”, went ahead anyway and abolished serfdom in 1861, even before slavery was abolished in the United States – and it was a failure, both masters and serfs rejected it. The tsar was assassinated 20 years later. Nothing and nobody could have succeeded in making the Russian people go through a bloodless reform of their society – it was not in their nature. And if a tsar couldn’t, even less Kerensky.

I look forward to watching that series. Thank you for the heads up.
DGray says
I would add the faces of two more communists, Obama and Biden to complete the picture.
mrnoduff says
would you settle for ‘closet communists’? (seeing as they dont advertise to be such)
Onzeur Trante says
Wow. This thread has gone completely off the rails.
Advocatus Dei says
I can’t find this series on the program guide for the History Channel from my local cable provider. Has it already come and gone… or been cancelled pre-emptively?
mrnoduff says
hate to tell y’all but there are those who would begin viewing said film and very soon storm out ‘lies lies all lies’
its far more true now than l thought even in the early stages. ‘people believe what the WANT to believe’.
explains communism, flat earth, voodoo, televangelists the list is HUGE.
so the rest of us have to ‘deal with it’ ESPECIALLY when one of them is in charge eh? lol!!!
