other than a lame attempt to defend the pernicious nature of communist regimes, what was the purpose of such silliness

Precisely. I understand that Marx believed that a communist "government" wasn't something that formed but something that other governments morphed into. Thing is, if he was right, why have we never seen that? They've always morphed into authoritarian dictatorships.
because you need to analyze what goes wrong. this line of "well they always do this" is not good political analysis
I did, try again
because trying to position your political ideology as morally superior is a stupid thing to do. "regimes" and "constitutional republics" both engage in the same actions
really? so the USA and similar constitutional republics have engaged in genocide in the last 100 years at a level that even remotely approaches communist dictatorships.
If you read my other posts in this thread, I have analyzed it. "Well they always do this" is not my argument.
well the UK has. consider india for one
millions upon millions?
29 million in India alone
You are/where a cop correct? Was it a common occurrence to come across a crime being committed?
post the source of that. are you counting Muslim/Hindu violence against each other?
Not really. Getting to actually STOP a crime in progress was a rare treat. I say treat, because it made the job worth doing, as opposed to the depressing and sordid business of cleaning up the blood afterward and writing the reports, which was by far what we more often did.
I'm glad I live in a county where the Sheriff actively encourages the citizenry to go armed and stop criminals themselves.
I appreciate your service but could never do the job, especially with the modern anti-cop thing.
Well, IMO the modern anti-cop thing has come into being because politicians have changed the mission of the police... from Peace Officer to Government Enforcer and Revenue Gatherer, and changed the face of law enforcement from Sheriff Andy to black-armored paramilitary jackboots. Combine that with 24/7 reporting of every questionable police use of force and you have a recipe for citizens coming to hate the police.
Sad to say I chose to discourage my son's interest in following in my footsteps. The new LE model is not something I wanted him to be part of.
The Anti cop thing has been going on long time. When I was a kid the hippies called them pigs.

seems like the conflict between muslims and hindus can also be blamed on the british
Guns don't empower people, people empower people.
I once read that those in possession of firearms are more likely to out themselves in a position to use it, and without having an issue with anyone feeling the need to arm themselves, it's this very reason I've chosen to live comfortably without a weapon.

would you cite the part of that wiki article that supports your claims

what does that mean?
do you put a sign on your home proclaiming your house is gun free?
do you walk the streets of wherever you live wit a sign noting you don't carry a weapon?
