aren't those "killed by communists" lists tend to include the Nazis killed in ww2? kind of dishonest.
That is one of the more honest examples of what they do.
You want dishonest?
They count the difference between expected birthrate and actual birthrate.
War causes people to have less babies? Each baby not born = 1 death caused by communism.
Worse then dead, they never were.
it's interesting how anyone who dies in a communist country (even not being born there counts) is considered "death by communism", but then ignore the same from non communist counties.
kind of dishonest on their part...
Better sex education, access to contraception/abortion, and generally women having more control over when they have children/how many children they want to have under socialism was claimed to have taken "victims" too. Because if you're not accidentally getting pregnant at 19 with no recourse other than giving birth to children you didn't want, that's oppression by a totalitarian dictator.
