The amount of open communists these days is terrifying. For an ideology that killed more people than any other in human history.
Only because they weren't stupid enough to lose WW2. If the Nazis had won, they would have killed way more.
I seem to recall that the Soviet Union was busy genociding demographics before the Nazis made it cool - the holodomor was in 1932, some time before boomer Hitler got around to offing job lots of his own population.
And that's just one big bang event, not even taking into account the continual grinding misery and death communism leaves in it's wake.
That's true, but if the USSR lost, the Nazis would have killed more.
Just like someone said in the reddit thread, this is vapid whataboutism.
What is it about the atrocities of the USSR that brings out this knee-jerk response? Is it really so hard to just fucking admit that socialism has resulted in horrific totalitarian regimes? This is why the advocates of socialism always come off as untrustworthy or idiots; They can't even admit the mistakes of past attempts to come up with an explanation as to how they plan to prevent that from happening again.
At least the dumb-asses that think we should give fascism another go have a large proportion of members that admit to the German holocaust and are honest about wanting to do it again.
Fascism is just honest socialism: https://www.bitchute.com/video/9mJPw-ICYp8/
