He did a great service to humanity by publishing the Gulag Archipelago and denouncing communism, but he also had other very strange views.

Read up on Frederic Bastiat, Ludwig von Mises, among many other inteligent European thinkers. Socialism achieves its ends through the same means uncivilized cave men did, and that's through force. Socialism would never survive in a voluntary-participation environment.

He was except these his acts imprisoned in communist prison camp on Syberia for many years and saw the result of communist idea. I think you would do the same decision if you have the same life like him. We must not close eyes when evil is present and let people do bad things. We must protect us and our families. Pacifism looks great, but it is false opinion.

What an extraordinary point of view, completely out of order. Assuming that Marx was wrong on Capitalism, yo must be a very inteligent person.

Solzenicyn defended the bombings and killings by americans un Vietnam. He also defended the massacre of communists in Indonesia in 1963.

And BTW, i like Pete's songs too, particularly his "what did you learn in school today" which is an effect of government schools.

Socialism is evil because it achieves its ends through violent and barbaric means, by forcing people to conform to it. If it was such a wonderful system, people wouldn't be forced to participate by the point of a gun. What Socialists forget is that your rights end once they impose on someone else's rights. Capitalism, the term being coined by Marx himself, is entirely misunderstood because propaganda is used constantly. Capitalism is based on peaceful, voluntary exchange and individual rights

those are not a part of the communist philosophy though, thats just a part of an extremely corrupt communist regime, i think more people should differentiate between the 2. how ever i give my condolences for having to live in such a tragedy.

I do not agree with this opinion. I grew up in communist society. I know there are many communists among intellectuals in west Europe and in USA. But they need not to live in under communists reign. They do not know what is everyday fear, murders, years of prisons on Syberia. If there would not a capitalism, communism would be such bad as it is now. Try to read Solzenicyn or Orwell.
