    Victims of capitalism tend to die from malicious or callous actions. Victims of communism, if you want to call it that, tend to just die because of incompetent leaders than anything else.

    This is just Marxist Leninist propaganda because Marxist Leninist Communist states have lots of victims which weren’t nazis, landlords, kulaks, capitalists etc. Showing victims of famines here when its pretty much historical consensus that communist state action played a significant role in many devastating famines is even more insidious.

    Example of this: Pretty decent video about the Holodomor and how Marxist Leninists are never able to acknowledge it by Badmouse

        Ah yeah everyone that critiques ML communism has to be fascist. Social democrats, anarchists, non ML marxists etc just seem to non existent when MLs try to defend their propaganda. Pretty weak reply tbh

          It’s very funny that you guys have adopted the 2015 chud thing of saying “you lefties just call anyone a fascist” While explicitly repeating fascist talking points.

                Its so funny that your exact argument is mentioned and refuted in the linked video in my original comment. Feel free to watch it, its made in good faith from someone who would love to see MLs actually engage with their historical revisionism.

                  If you can’t even advocate for your uselessly myopic worldview yourself, why should anyone else do it for you? If you have something of substance to say, say it. Say anything that isn’t standard internet argument-pattern vagueposting or sweeping incorrect generalizations .

      What’s insiduous is claiming that there’s historical consensus around the Holodomor being intentionally caused by the USSR. That in of itself is propaganda and plenty of normie historians would disagree with that.

    I lost just as many of my grandparents and great grandparents generations of my family to the soviet gulags as to the nazi concentration camps. My family used to be huge, everybody had 5 to 10 siblings. Very few survived.

    And communism didn’t end in Poland till 1989, and nobody who lived through that had anything nice to say about it as it was corrupt as hell.

      Lmao, so is this not the communism you were talking about then?

      Your fantasies around these political ideologies are just as fucking stupid as the far rights’.
