"Under the Sign of Scorpion" by Juri - Gnostic Liberation Front

Their genetic make-up is destroyed. Every third child is malformed, has
cancer or lacks an immune system. Researchers state that the next gene-
ration will not be fit to live. (Dagens Nyheter, 23rd February 1992.)
Stalin had practised all the principles of Marxism-Leninism, secured the
dictatorship, liquidated the free market, abolished the idea of ethics, degra-
ded the intellectuals, encouraged the class struggle across national boun-
daries, tried to exterminate religion, enslaved the workers (who turned to
drink instead of working). But the different races did not want to mingle
with each other, the believers did not wish to abandon their creeds, the j
peasants hated working on collective farms (and became extremely lazy
because they were forced to work for someone else's gain).
The Communists failed in everything and managed to annihilate vast
numbers of people in the process - class enemies and enemies of the
people who would have disturbed the build-up of the Illuminist society.
The Communists were finally forced to realise that their system was
totally unrealistic, just as their opponents had claimed all along. Homo
Sovieticus became a worthless tool. It was impossible to continue. The
Communists suffered all kinds of setbacks. There were some who began to
regret their crimes, like Malenkov who became religious in his old age and
was seen in many churches in and around Moscow. He had plenty to atone
for.
Lazar Kaganovich was not among those few who regretted their actions.
He died on the evening of the 25th of July 1991, 97 years old. His immen-
sely cruel methods had led nowhere. His life is a terrible lesson for all
who really wish to learn from the mistakes of others.
