Stalin and the 20 million

If we're going to keep repeating this, recall that Andrew Jackson, the
product of a democracy, still immortalized on currency, was largely
responsible for wiping out nearly the entire Native population here.

If you're going to argue that Communism is bad 'cause of Stalin, 'cause
of the 20 million, then you'd have to argue that democracy is bad 'cause
of Jackson.

"Communism" --- or, let us call it what it really was: centrally-planned
government and economy --- is not alone in creating atrocities.

Right on! Where is our national day of respect for native peoples? Why has
the government been yankin' their chain as recently as this past year? It's a
horrible shame.

Yes this is true...good points.

I still want a single example of a country Communist, Socialist or otherwise,
that has the massive influx of immigration that we do, per annum. The fact
remains that America has something drawing people from all over to come to
it.

and others? Romanians, French, Germans, British, Polish, Swedish?

If you would move from the U.S., I assume you would move to Europe. That's why
I'm interested in your view about Europeans in 'exile' here.

If not Europe, where might you want to live?
