From accidental new topic start elsewhere
is this thing loaded said:
quote:
I wanted to get back to the main topic. sorry if i lead you off course. The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage. Martyrdom is essentially suicide because you are giving up any power in the matter by delivering yourself to your oppressors. what makes a difference is how many people see you die. The act of martyrdom has a significant effect on those who see it. The communists recognized that public executions ended up creating more of a problem than it solved and therefore kept their murders secret to prevent the people being influenced by it.
That false start topic will be closed, and probably deleted after I get the topic tracking database caught up.
