“Gulags” and Gulags
I don’t include many links in my postings, as I had done in the past – just too tedious and time consuming. Most of the “good stuff” can be found regularly on some of the site’s I’ve listed among my general list of links (as well as a million or so other sites that I may or may not have yet seen).
I have to include this link regarding North Korea's Gulags (as compared to Amnesty International’s latest definition of a “gulag”). The essay provides some interesting information and puts things into context quite well I think.
North Korea is the extreme extrapolation of collectivist / statist philosophy in action (quite contrary to the left’s bogus counter-argument that somehow Nazi Germany is an extrapolation of the libertarian or conservative's belief in minimal decentralized government).
It’s time for Amnesty International (who I used to actually give money to) to scrap its phony “non-partisan” label.
