Ws of Communism

Sure, the USSR did kill a lot of Nazis. But to claim all of the victims of communism were Nazis is bullshit

Yes, there was a famine in the 1930s. It was largely due to adverse weather conditions, coupled with the bourgeois farmers called "kulaks" killing their livestock and burning their crops to resist the Red Army collectivizing agriculture. However, to paint those who died as "victims of communism" when the communists were the ones that finally ended famine in a region where famine was historically common and regular is hardly genuine.

The term "Holodomor," the right-wing theory describing a man-made and intentional famine, was created by Ukrainian nationalists in the 80s. It was named as such to draw direct connection to the Holocaust, and as such is a form of Holocaust trivialization. Archival evidence proves that there was no such intentional famine, but it is used politically to demonize socialism in the real world, wielded like a club.

Learn today when listening to MapleTakes on Twitch (Canada Comrade). Canada has a "Victims of Communism" monument that they put up. Here is a picture of it blacked out like it's the Epstein files.

They had to black it out because people kept realizing they were all fucking Nazis.

Should have left those names, but etch a little swastika next to every Nazi.

wasn’t there an org that counted nazi soldiers killed by the red army, as well as aborted babies in socialist countries, as "victims of communism"?

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 44 points 19 hours ago

It gets dumber: they also counted soviets killed by nazis in ww2 and the hypothetical children that dead eastern front nazis never had as victims of communism

I wonder if anyone has a number on how many people capitalism has killed.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 63 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Can we get a victims of capitalism memorial foundation?
