[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7744858, member: 6802378"] Usually History is written by the winners, but about the Spanish civil war it is like written by who lost it. If I say "My Lai", lots of Northamericans know about I talk, and they feel uncomfortable, but if I say "Huế Massacre" almost all body has no idea. Do you know what means "Chistka" (= Stalin's purges) or dekukalization? Did you know the evolution theory wasn't allowed to be taught in Stalin's age because it was against Trofin Lysenko's pseudoscientific theories? Do you know nothing about the Katyn massacre in Poland? A clue: it wasn't by the nazis. And about Vietnamese boat people? In China if you are Christian you can't put a crucifix in your sitting room, but Xi Jipiang's image. (I wonder about if Blade, Buffy Summer or Van Hellsing had to use his photo against Chinese vampire) In the last times (after Reagan's age at least) the "anti-communist" has a poor or bad image in the main media, and we aren't told about the reasons East Europe broke links with Kremlin and moved to the other side, changed side, they didn't thank Moscow because they were saved from the capitalists' claws. Today East Europeans are the most fierce anti-communists because they didn't forget what they lived. It is really curious, Hollywood usually make us to remember about the horrible things happened in the dark age, but almost never about the nightmare of living in a communist dictatorship. Who remembers the film "Red Dawn", the 2012 remake with Chris Hemworth (who plays god Thor in marvel movies) as main character? [/QUOTE]
