North Korea still makes people disappear, to use them as guinea pigs if they won\u2019t knuckle under to the government. There are too many examples of governments abusing their own citizens for the sin of disagreeing with them.<\/p>\n<p>In Argentina, disagreeing with the government meant that you literally vanished. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/mothers-plaza-de-mayo-disappeared-children-dirty-war-argentina\">https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/mothers-plaza-de-mayo-disappeared-children-dirty-war-argentina<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The same thing happened in Chile. Over 30,000 people are estimated to have been subjected to enforced disappearances under Pinochet. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Human_rights_violations_in_Pinochet%27s_Chile\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Human_rights_violations_in_Pinochet%27s_Chile<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fidel Castro is not dead yet, you know, even if he lets his brother appear to run things. Anything spoken that is antigovernment gets you jail time, which you may or may not survive. Under Che Guevara, it was worse: torture followed by death.<\/p>\n<p>Mao Tse-Tung did not care if people starved to death under his great plan. There were more than enough people to fill his need for control. Officials never went hungry. The rough estimate by Yang Jisheng, author of \u201cTombstone\u201d, is that up to 36,000,000 Chinese people literally starved to death under Mao\u2019s Great Leap Forward plan, during a period when harvests were so inadequate that entire villages were starving to death, and desperate people cannibalized anyone who died. He reported such things as a young girl so desperate that she killed and ate her own baby sister. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tombstone-Great-Chinese-Famine-1958-1962\/dp\/0374533997\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tombstone-Great-Chinese-Famine-1958-1962\/dp\/0374533997<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The numbers from the Soviet Union\u2019s Lysenkoist ag program are estimated at between 7,000,000 and 9,000,000, but the total may be higher. Mass graves have been found and excavated, but identifying those victims will take considerable time. Robert Conquest documented the disappearances and mass executions in &#8220;The Great Terror&#8221;, but revised it to include backup, some years after it was originally published.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Great-Terror-Reassessment-Robert-Conquest\/dp\/0195317009\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Great-Terror-Reassessment-Robert-Conquest\/dp\/0195317009<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is too much going on today that resembles the start of what allowed the Nazi death camps and the Soviet gulags and the disappearances to come into existence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/tag\/holocaust\/\">https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/tag\/holocaust\/<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The Red Army discovered Auschwitz-Birkenau before the Nazis could cover their tracks completely.
