Happy Birthday, Communism?

This year marks 100 years since Communist began, with the first revolution unfolding in Russia.

John Stossel reports that the premise for the uprising was the Russian government’s promise that capitalists would no longer exploit workers and the people would prosper together. We now know how all that malarkey turned out. Many people resisted and were slaughtered by Lenin and Stalin.
