The great crimes of the twentieth century
were committed not by money-grubbing
capitalists but by dedicated idealists. Lenin,
Stalin, and Hitler were contemptuous of
money. The passage from the nineteenth
to the twentieth century has been a passage
from considerations of money to considerations
of power. How naive the cliche that
money is the root of evil!

The way to virtually eliminate genocide
and mass murder appears to be through
restricting and checking power. This
means to foster democratic freedom.
?Rudolph Rummel
The more productive people are, the more
governments can tax and confiscate. So
the more productive people are, the more
costly it is for governments to kill them.
Evidence indicates that governments
respond to this economic incentive.

The history of the denial of the Armenian
genocide has passed through several
phases... all characterized by efforts to
avoid responsibility and the moral, material,
and political consequences of admission.
