Communism, again

Our title today has many uses. Just a few:

* You woke up again this morning, and likely again found yourself in a communist country.

* Outright, official communism dominated the earth for most of a century, and after its supposed fall with the destruction of the Berlin Wall, some people were surprised to find that the replacement leaders in many of those countries were..... communist!

* During that whole awful period -- from the publication of the communist manifesto to the fall of the Wall -- anyone scanning the world political scene from the east, where communism was strongest, to the far west (the USA) where people were supposedly freest, an honest assessment would have held that what one saw here as well was in fact..... communism!

* The word has been quietly dropped from the political vocabulary. But today in the real world, it is again being written up for the fraud it truly is! Hey, this Takimag writer is saying the same stuff I do including communism's real origins and missing modern context, but much funnier. Enjoy:

Trending online news topics often cough up amusingly odd juxtapositions, such as when “Auschwitz” was #2 behind “LeAnn Rimes” and right ahead of “Holiday Bread Recipes” on Yahoo!’s home page. Although I didn’t get a screen capture, I swear to whatever God will listen to me that a few days ago, Kristallnacht was trending on Yahoo! amid a pack of similarly weighty topics such as Justin Bieber and Snooki.............

What the hell was Kristallnacht doing in the news?
