   Yep, those two statements.    
      
   It seems this is what some people must believe:    
      
   Communist nations are known for their religious and spiritual tolerance.   
   Christianity has always been part and parcel of Soviet societies. No one ever   
   had to hide their bibles or be persecuted for their beliefs. In addition,   
   Communist nations are open to    
   all ancient indigenous rituals, ceremonies and observances so long as they   
   don't do hurt anyone (against their will). Just ask the Falun Gong members,   
   they'll tell you. But hey, free meals at the labor camps. Yay!   
      
   From what *i've* heard from "real NATIVES", they were never Communists. I   
   can't see why anyone would embrace Communism when it does *exactly* what   
   William S. Burroughs describes.
