Gorbachev on Socialism

I am glad that communism is finally dead in the former Soviet Union. Stalin’s horrible and senseless torture of people and society was the worst action taken against mankind after Hitler’s Holocaust of the Jews. This unnecessary brutality should have been stopped from the very beginning. Thank you for being the principal figure in stopping communism, Mr. Gorbachev. Now maybe the world will be a more peaceful place for everyone.
