SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The South Bend Police Department took to social media to celebrate a literal communist holiday known as International Women’s Day. The holiday was founded by communist Clara Zetkin and the Soviet Union’s Vladimir Lenin in 1917. The holiday then spread to communist China and Spain and was solely associated with communist countries until the late 1960s. In 1967, a group of communist feminists established the holiday in the United States. It was officially adopted by the UN in 1975.
According to piece written by investigative reporter David Josef Volodzko, “Vladimir Lenin (the co-founder of International Women’s Day) massacred more than 1 million people for political or religious reasons, murdered up to 700,000 in the genocide of the Cossacks, more than 15,000 peasants in the Tambov rebellion, over 3,000 sailors and civilians in the Kronstadt rebellion, thousands of workers who dared to strike or could not work, almost 2 million who died in the Gulag concentration camps and upwards of 8 million from famine and disease… The violent breed of communism Lenin created, carried forward by the likes of Stalin and Mao, has killed at least 100 million people.”
While it’s obvious women everywhere should be celebrated daily, the South Bend Police Department thought it was appropriate to ignore the history of the holiday and celebrate communism/International Women’s Day on social media.
