New Communists


(Moscow, Russia) For those who know that communism was directly responsible for 100 million murders in the 20th Century, this story will make you sick.

From MosNews.com:

New members were admitted to the Young Pioneer Organization in Moscow's Red Square on Sunday, in a ceremony organized by the Russian Communist Party, an Interfax correspondent reported.

The ceremony was attended by an estimated 3,000 people, Moscow's law enforcement reported.

Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov had arrived in Red Square to tie Young Pioneer's red ties personally round the children's necks.

"The Young Pioneer Organization has written down the most remarkable chapter in Russia's history. We welcome a new replenishment of Young Pioneers today and think that they will help Russia cope with all problems," Zyuganov said.

Asked how many new members have been admitted to the organization today, Zyuganov said, "It's difficult to give an exact figure, but Young Pioneer groups have been mushrooming in Russia lately."

Mushrooming commies? Hmmm . . . . Interpreted differently (i.e. as a plan of attack), I'm reminded that it almost happened during the Cuban missile crisis.
