Yep according to them every hunger related death under a communist government is communists fault but the many famines under capitalism don't count against their favorite system.

Or like the Memorial to Victims of Communism in Canada that was mostly Nazis and collaborators on it.

They don't care.

Also they will claim that the death of communism is some widely agreed upon number that is corroborated by numerous organizations and sources.

In reality it is literally like the one single 'study' that proved the autism/vaccine connection. It came entirely from the Black Book of Communism in 1999, and all but the main author disavowed it, and despite the obsession with wanting to reach 100 million. The absolute max it could find was 94 million with a 'most likely' number of 64 million.

So when they give a death toll of 'conservatively 100 million' they are literally pulling it out of nowhere.

Liberals crying about the death toll from communism, when said made up number includes Nazis killed in the Easter theatre.

Liberals mourning nazis out of sheer ignorance seems telling

The people killed by US soldiers in vietnam war also included too. It's messed up.

As they said, it includes Nazis

Wait... are the liberals actually surprised? Or being sarcastic? And why would liberals be either one of those?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago

Sometimes surprised, sometimes mad, either way anti-communists that try to pull out the Black Book of Communism are generally making the point that socialism is more lethal than capitalism, when historically it's the opposite both in total and by ratio.

What communist country would you like to live in?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago (4 children)

China, Cuba, Vietnam. The first two have a higher life expectancy than the US, the richest country in world history.
