Entry: Pat, John, and the Others Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/pat_john_and_the_others#28370 Post contents: I am completely aware of the global depradations of the various and sundry communists regimes, as I might add is John Lukacs. However my statement was that Hitler was more destructive of Western Civilization and I will stand by it. Hitler was directly or indirectly responsible for something on the order of 50 million deaths in 12 short years which is unmatched by any communist regime. And he wreaked his havoc primarily in the center of Europe, most notably in Germany, which had previously reached pinnacles of achievement in art, music, literature, and science unapproached by feudal and semi-Asiatic Russia. A Russia which, as Lukacs points out, was increasingly nationalist rather than idealogically Marxist as the 1930's wore on. Thank God for Winston Churchill! After all, he was able to save half of Germany. PS - Unlike TWS, The Nation is a fine magazine with many insightful articles. Sent at: 2008 11 20
