    When I said “but to their own people” I meant that they killed their own people, source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_regimes

    You don’t need to privatize to erode workers rights, source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Solidarity

    But yes, you can pick and choose to an extreme so that you end up saying that Fascism and Authoritarianism totally seperate in a Venn Diagram of evil, but you’d lie to yourself.

      Yeah… you’re gonna have to do better than that. That article is almost entirely based on the Black Book of Communism, a known bullshit book filled with ridiculous numbers and “estimates”.

      Like it includes Nazis killed in WW2 as “victims of communism”. And if those are the victims, good riddance in my books…

      Their sacrifice in WW2, which was from a certain point on deliberate and ideology based(as in that they would not accept any rule of nazi ideology), has served even you. Unless you want a world where the nazis didnt lose, you too are in the debt of these tankies.
