50th Anniversary of May 1968, Paris:  Memories of an Illusory Revolution
It&#x27;s fortunate for France that the revolution came to nothing.  Marxist policies have destroyed every country that has embraced them.<p>USSR.<p>North Korea.<p>Cuba.<p>Vietnam.<p>China.<p>Those that have recovered have done so to the extent that they have <i>abandoned</i> Marxism.  Economically speaking, even fascism (e.g. China) is better than Marxism.<p>It&#x27;s probably better from a human rights perspective, too.

No one will ever know. What is certain is that the Soviet Union has been the worst reeking charnel house of this whole awful twentieth century, worse even than the one the Nazis created (but then they had less time). The sum total of deaths due to Soviet policy — in the Stalin period alone — deaths from the collectivization and the terror-famine, the executions and the Gulag, is probably on the order of 30,000,000.</i>
