The same great minds at the ever-oblivious New York Times that once brought you “Why Women Had Better Sex Under Socialism” are back with a new album, this one entitled: "How To Appall Readers and Destroy History.”
In their new boneheaded tweet, the NYT Opinion page submitted the following for public consumption:
For all its flaws, the Communist revolution taught Chinese women to dream big https://t.co/Fci82iAPxM

Of course, for all its flaws, communism has also led to the deaths of more than 100 million people worldwide, is responsible for mass gender-based abortion and sterilization, led to slews of human rights atrocities, landed people in extreme poverty and starvation, and inspired some of the most horrific workplace conditions ever known to man.
But dream on, ladies.
Unsurprisingly, the NYT’s tweet instantly crashed in a blaze of public ridicule.
Read it, threw up, used @nytimes to clean up floor.

Lol. This can't be a real opinion right? This from the Onion? How clueless can this paper be?

Yep, being dragged off to all those forced abortions and sterilizations sure taught those women to love the communist patriarchy

Out of your f-ing mind? Starved millions, outright murdered thousands, led to policy aborting millions-mostly girls

Some openly mocked the New York Times for its ridiculous white-washing of communistic violence.
A lot of young Germans learned in the 1930s how important it was to live for a cause greater than yourself.
