The website on 'democide' is of interest as an extreme example of this type of propaganda. 'Freedom', it explains, brings economic prosperity, since freedom means private entrepreneurship without government interference. Democratic Freedom is of course capitalist liberal democracy, the right to vote every two years or so...etc. If you have any doubts there are colourful graphs and statistics empirically proving the superiority of capitalist freedom over communist demagoguery... Glad I've cleared that up.
