Because 'The Soviet Union was run by butchers who used starvation to murder millions'

isn't tolerable to Ta-Nehisi Coates, so it becomes It really is chaos out there. It's always been chaos out there.

Because dealing with "It's COMMUNISM, you moron" just isn't doable.

I haven't read Bloodlands yet; have a copy of The Black Book of Communism I keep having to put down and I've read a number of things about the famines(ORDERED famines, remember) the Soviets used to kill in mass.  To call the Soviet Union anything other than evil is stupid.  And blind.

Unfortunately, lots of people in both categories.

"To call the Soviet Union anything other than evil is stupid. And blind." And a great strategy that has paid off handsomely for the people using it. This isn't stupidity. It isn't blindness or naivety. It's enemy action.

Instapundit has a link to a writer for National Review pushing the line, "...no matter how incompetent he may seem, no matter how far his approval ratings may fall, Barack Obama is, in the end, just like us.”

All the stupidity in the world can't possibly explain that.
