Why We Can't Afford to Lose

This video details a few of the ways in which Latvians were tortured by the Communist KGB after the official Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940. If the Communists finally do take over the U.S., the same things and more could happen here.

Great find Smaland!

Photo of George Watson (1927-2013), who was an historian, and a professor of English at Cambridge University. The image is from telegraph.co.uk, and it is a screen capture from the film documentary The Soviet Story. The Bitchute video below was taken from this documentary, and Watson is interviewed in this video clip. (UPDATE for this post: the Bitchute video has been taken down, and so now I'm using the YouTube video below. The Soviet Story is a 2008 Latvian film directed by Edvīns Šnore.)

Video section	Person being interviewed	Quotation of Comments in Video
Beginning-1:30	George Watson	I don't think many people know that only socialists publicly advocated genocide in the 19th (and) 20th centuries. ... I think that's a very little-known fact, and it seems shocking if you mention it. I've lectured on it here and (at) other universities, and it's always ... greeted with a sense of shock. It first appeared in January, 1849, in Marx's journal Neue Rheinische Zeitung. Engels wrote ... of how the class war, in Marxian terms, means that when (the) ... socialist revolution happens, when the class war happens, there will be primitive societies in Europe (that are) two stages behind, because they're not even capitalist yet. And he had in mind the Basques, and the Bretons, and the Scottish Highlanders, and the Serbs. And ... he calls them "racial trash" ... And they would have to be destroyed because, being two stages behind in the historical struggle, it would be impossible to bring them up to the point of being revolutionary.
1:31-1:47	In this section, there is a second speaker, who seems to be French (judging by his accent). I hope that French readers of this post will pardon me, since 1) I can't understand the beginning of what he says, and 2) the speaker may actually be quite well known as a French historian, I just don't know about them.	"(Can't understand what is said at the beginning) ... vulgarity and dirtiness of ... Slavic people, you see ... He (thought) for instance that Poland ... (had) no reason to exist."
1:48-2:00	In this section, the narrator is quoting from Marx.	"The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way.* [...] They must 'perish in the revolutionary holocaust.' ** Footnotes, as stated in the full documentary: * Marx. People's Paper. April 16, 1853 (UPDATE for this post: year corrected to 1853, per the YouTube documentary in this post. Previously, I'd written down the year as "1856" in another post.) ** Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol 42., No. 1, 1981.
2:01-2:24	George Watson	Marx began it, he was the ancestor of modern political genocide. And I don't know that any European thinker of the modern period before Marx and Engels ever publicly advocated racial extermination. I can't find anything earlier, and so I presume it starts with them.
