Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the perspective from frontpagemag.com contributing author

Looks Like Terrorism's Back on Our Menu, Boys! (Thanks to Biden)
https://rumble.com/vstf2r-looks-like-terrorisms-back-on-our-menu-boys-thanks-to-biden.html

Background from {[frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/02/did-university-destroy-archive-documenting-daniel-greenfield/]}
"Officially, the Red Army Faction, but popularly known for its two leaders, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, the leftist terrorist group had carried out a string of attacks, including the killings of a number of American military personnel. Becker’s investigations of Soviet backed terrorism had taken her around the world, and now the South African Jewish journalist was in Berlin.
The Baader-Meinhof gang had come out of the communards. The Communards, even more degenerate and deadlier versions of American leftists who flirted with terrorism and terror trolling, embraced Mao and experimented with everything, were not easy targets for journalists.
“I would offer to read two or three fortunes with the cards, saying that for me the process was exhausting so I could not do more than that. They would decide who were to be the lucky ones, and I would go through a routine of getting them to shuffle and lay out the cards in a certain pattern. Then I would pick them up one by one and “tell their fortune”. Becker told me.
"I can see at once that you are a very sensitive person.” “Ah, I see you are having some serious difficulties at the moment.” (Who isn’t, at any moment?) “But you are going to overcome them quite soon.” That sort of thing. After that they felt they could trust me, and I would ask my questions and get my answers.”
The answers went into Becker’s book, Hitler’s Children: The Story of the Baader-Meinhof Terrorist Gang, and later into the archives of her organization: The Institute for the Study of Terrorism. The Institute closed down due to lack of funding a decade before 9/11 and the collected archive covering a range of Soviet-backed terror groups around the world was transferred over to the University of Leicester. Now it’s gone missing even as the university has made the shift over to politically convenient wokeness. And Jillian Becker fears the worst.
In her original account of what took place on her own blog, Becker explains that the value of the Institute for the Study of Terrorism archive lay in the original material painstakingly collected at great risk which "established that almost all the terrorist groups in the First World and its allies between 1969 and 1990 were supported with training, and/or funding, arms, asylum, by Soviet Russia. (A few were affiliated with China.)"
Beyond playing fortune teller to Marxist terrorists, Becker mentions "picking the documents out of the rubble of bombed PLO headquarters” in Lebanon.
“They were blood stained and soiled but legible,” she recalls. “They went into transparent plastic covers to be photocopied before they could be translated and the translations filed. That was almost the only documentation there was about the PLO years in Lebanon to help me write that history.”

Define Communist Terrorism for me Dale. Communism, Capitalism and Socialism are political, social and economic ideologies. "Terrorism & Communism" is the work of Leon Trotsky that was published in 1920.

MCPO Hilary Kunz, isn't this thought a generalization of communism? Agreed; communism is an authoritarian system with an autocratic government. How did the USSR expand?

CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana - I think it’s more of a mindset in “us” that when we talk “communism” related to that era, we really mean the totalitarian version of the USSR. The communism taught by Jesus is different from the communism of the people who live in agricultural communes which is again different from the communism of China which is different from the communism of the USSR. The Communism I learned in political science classes (and the stock answer) is again, not the same as any of the above. This makes definitions hard due to colloquialisms that have changed the meaning of the words.
The USSR expanded by violent revolt against anti-communist people as far as they could get. The Allies “gave” them a huge chunk of Eastern Europe and they kept control via violence.
According to the article, they tried to disrupt any entity that they thought might oppose them. The killed their own by the millions, why would they care about the deaths of foreigners?
