The estimable Ilya Somin, a law professor and defender of liberty, continues his efforts to have May First declared International Victims of Communism Day, a proposal which I heartily endorse. We should remember the tens of millions who were killed in warfare, outright murdered by the security services of a number of Communist states, or who starved to death in man-made famines. We should also endeavor to make their memories an immunization against future attempts to establish Communism.
