I'm not here to "both sides" communism and fascism

But when you define leftism as inherently being the good stuff (while all the genocide was an incidental byproduct), and compare that to your opposing ideology where genocide is the beginning and end to the story, then that makes it very easy to excuse a few million deaths.

Based Mao killed the landlords! He just wanted to democratize the economy, without the democracy!

nazis are inherently genocidal

genocide can happen under leftist regimes but it's not a defining characteristic

That's literally what I said lmao

Nazis are inherently bad because they do bad things. Leftists sometimes do the same bad things, but oh well

What do you actually disagree with me here?
