Michael,

You have repeatedly made the above claim. And I have
responded by declaring it to be mythological nonsense
attributable to secular fundamentalism, specifically
anti-communist fundamentalism.

In support of my view I have provided extensive
authentic historic documentary resources, and can
easily provide more. You have, to the best of my
recollection, provided no documentation. Zero, zippo,
nada. Nothing substantive, nothing credible. Your
'evidence' has been limited entirely to usual
unsupported anti-communist exhortations.

This, I remind you, is the government whose victory YOU praised. A
government, which while it allowed its people to 'vote' another nation into
subjugation (something you consider 'freedom') was still a communist
dictatorship, and thus had no moral right to existence.
