How did a thread about socialism become a thread about the environment!?
I am very confused.
Well Socialism is an murderous system, all socialistic movements did murder the intelectual class first as they came to power. Its a principle that Lenin did discribe in his teachings.
i suggest you educate yourself a bit about history:

Or is it perhaps that certain authoritarian governments, regardless of ideology, have a tendency to kill off opponents?
