Comment. Did people really believe that communists will choke you? :D\=< (talk) 12:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, considering that Marxist regimes (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot) were responsible for more than 100 million deaths in the 20th century, I think it's generous that the poster only shows 3, and I think the method of death shown is really humane as opposed to the pick axes used in Cambodia. -- I.

Oppose. Sorry for being blunt, but this is just part of a POV/POINT spam nomination series by a user that should spend some more time reading WIAFP, checking out the history of previous FPC, and coninue nominating in maybe one month or so. --Dschwen 17:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per reasons already given. -- Grandpafootsoldier (talk) 00:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with what the poster says, but it's obviously part of a POV smear campaign. I disagree with the word "supposed" in the caption as well. A better word would be "inevitable". -- I. Pankonin (t·c) 01:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
