the list needs to start with the actual definition of genocide, as initially worked out in Lemkin's Axis Rule in Occupied Europe, and then, referencing the actual international conventions that define 'genocide,' try to apply those legal concepts to the historical evidence--which evidence is not presented in texts such as Animal Farm or Allan Bloom or Ayn Rand or von Hayek's silly text or idiot Wurmbrand's lunacies about Lucifer. FFS. i always knew that mccarthyists are worthless wastes of space, but this is just embarrassing.
