Communism has a horrible record with regard to civil and human rights:
More than 100 years after the Bolshevik Revolution in which a communist regime first grasped power, and 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, one-fifth of the world’s population still lives under communist regimes in China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam. Freedom is losing ground in Crimea, Hong Kong, Venezuela, and the former countries of the Soviet Union. The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) exists to study, record, and broadcast the facts—to bring the truth of the brutal failures of communism to a forgetful and uninformed public.
Geopolitical actors from Beijing and Pyongyang to Havana and Caracas desperately want to undermine the West’s ability to condemn their tyrannies and encourage their people’s desire for freedom. They present single-party dictatorship and high-tech totalitarianism as acceptable 21st-century alternatives to Western democracy. This tactic is working. From the United Nations at Turtle Bay to the European Union headquarters in Brussels, and even at times the White House and Congress, too many institutions have accepted foreign communist claims as valid. Our target audience for this program includes dissidents, ethnic and human rights organizations, policymakers, diplomats, and the media.

Hopefully one day we can eradicate this despicable form of government from the face of the earth. Communism is tyranny.
