communists want liberation and equality for all humans.
nazis murdered millions of jews, communists and anyone that didnt fit their biological supremacist bullshit.
But nazis are worse than communists. lol.
Bernie the politician isn't a communist. He's a social democrat at best. I'm an actual communist and I'm telling you this. Your views are backwards.
nazis killed around 17mln of their enemies.
communists killed around 90 mln, most of their own who had improper viewpoints.
So you were saying something or someone just farted?
I actually come from a country that was under communism.
You dont know shi*.
My parents still remember lack of toilet paperand everything else.
Ok. I’ll engage with your comment. I just want to say that Stalin would probably have killed me, too.
Memes are not a substitute for truth.
Sure, the toilet paper situation you describe is absurd, but it exists around the world today. Instead of there not being toilet paper, people can’t afford to buy it. Or, replace toilet paper with other commodities that the world’s poorest are unable to purchase or procure. So yeah, your example highlights an absurdity, but it doesn’t prove anything.
It’s also irrelevant to the proposed ‘90 million’ number. This figure is propaganda. I’m not denying there were deaths under 20th century ‘communist’ regimes. Yes, there were executions and worse. But the 90 million number is contested by historians, both on the right and the left.
The majority of deaths under these regimes come from famine. Now, if you want to argue that these famines were orchestrated by their respective governments (Russian and Chinese), then the weight is on you to prove that. I’m of the opinion that these regimes didn’t try to personally murder millions of their own citizens, because that’s absurd. Again, the majority of deaths under these regimes were a result of famine, and the conditions of that famine were not intentional or desired.
As for the actual numbers, the total deaths from executions in the soviet union is, officially, less than a million. Is that shocking and horrifying? Yes. But its not 90 million.
That 90 million number you’re touting is from lazy research. Reactionary scholars, in an effort to paint the worst picture possible, lumped together all policies, civil wars, terror campaigns, land reforms, famines, wars and more. Point being, it’s not very specific or helpful at understanding history and the reasons for what happened. It claims that 90 million were intentionally murdered in some insane conspiracy to…what, exactly?
These regimes wanted people to work. They wanted to build industry. Developing productive forces was their primary goal. Why would they want to kill millions of their own citizens, when that’s the opposite of their intended goal.
Worse, this 90 million number actually gets people, like you, to believe that communists are worse than Nazis. You’re now claiming that Nazis, who explicitly want to murder the disabled, jewish persons, leftists, and anyone that disagrees with their psychotic race-purist fascist project, are less bad than communists, who want equality and freedom.
