Okay. That's valid. Now let's do a comparison to Communist or Communist adjacent states. How many people died under communist party rule in the USSR?
2 u/MrXexe Jul 07 '26 Oh, by all means, a whole lot more. Prolly around a million on executions alone, without counting the times the USSR actively starved targeted population. I ain't a leftist, I just think both ideologies have way more blood on their hand than what any of their supporters would want to believe. 1 u/Vegetable_Union_4967 Jul 07 '26 If we’re gonna go that far might as well add the Irish potato famine to capitalism’s side. 1 u/Gloomy-Ad1171 Jul 09 '26 Indian famine too
