Lee,
I believe those points could be documented if someone had the
interest. Now grant me that I consider the
communists/marist/leninist/socialist to be simply differing point on a single
continium.
I am looking for a book I recently read on the history of socialism --
darn it Lee I just buy and wag home too many books. I am sure that
information is covered there. Again if you re-read your Hayek I am pretty
sure you will find specific references to not being forthright with the
masses about the leaders intentions. I recall the former Soviet Ambassador
to Washington's wife speaking on the subject -- Alexsandra ??
I can understand your skepticism, but consider would a group of
leaders that killed their citizenry by the millions stop at lying? I think
not.
