How about the Irish potato famine?

Makes you feel blessed (and better fighters too) to be Maori

Those potatoes and their attempted annihilation of the Irish.
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

Do you think the English had no part to play in it?Those potatoes and their attempted annihilation of the Irish.

How about Belgium?
Any revulsion towards them?

Slightly different scenarios....
Namely - with the ones that you raised - we realized it wasn't a good idea and we stopped.
People are still trying to bring about the Communist Utopia, regardless of how many corpses continue to pile up in the name of Marx....

How many corpses are piling up in the name of Democracy?

More than slightly he is suggesting it was a concerted effort of a goverment rather than the well documented and in a lot of case persecuted acts of individuals and groups.
I find it ironic that the information he has used that suggests the events occured in the first place is the same form of text books where he claims the events that were a actual state run and organised and driven sanctioned genocide of a number of groups of people by the Nazis never happened.

Yes - that is true - both them and you fail to understand what Marx actually said about communism ...

The Catholic church closed the factories where the potatoes were made. I know, because I saw it on Father Ted.

Well, do you think that freedom of all individuals in a society is something worth defending?
You've got your business (and more power to you), you've got the ability to criticize the government, you've got a system that protects your rights.
The difference is that on the one hand people died because of Communism, on the other hand - people voluntarily sacrificed themselves to defend democracy.

Okay then - how are they the same?
If your response is "People died" - then really there is no distinction between Small Pox and a Dictator.
There's also a lot to be said for what the standards of the day were: Are you as upset with the Maori for what they did to the Moriori as you are with Europeans with what they did to the Aboriginals?
Afterall, it's about the same time span in the passed, it's the same principle (one group invaded another and then committed numerous acts we would class as war crimes or genocide today).

Okay, I'll bite - how so?

How exactly was America 'defending the freedom' of the American Indians?.
And how exactly was Australia 'defending the freedom' of the Aboriginies?
And how exactly was Belgium 'defending the freedom' of the Congolese?
