Like the kind that made you stop and think for a second about how stupid the person advocating it is. For me, it's the classic "The biggest mistake in recent history was the Allies not pushing into Russia after the fall of Berlin."

There's just a level of imperialist arrogance and blood thirst in there that makes my skin crawl. The worst thing in human history was that the US didn't immediately betray the Soviets and wipe them out until they were sure communism was done for.

Equating communism and fascism.

I mean we seen that a billion times in various versions in mainstream and got used to this but still it's the stupidest fucking thing ever.

I just used the "social democracy is the left wing of fascism line" and the response was "well ackshually communism is the left wing of fascism and all the damn populists are spoiling our perfect social democracy" Completely braindead.

I know, right? The body count of fascism is laughable compared to communism.

Ah yes, another one of these political hot takes...

You can start to learn about the lies told about communist death tolls here: https://discomfiting.medium.com/debunking-communism-killed-more-people-than-naziism-7a9880696f67

Otherwise, if you aren't interested in learning, you don't need to troll here.

That dude really hit us with the same old "100 gorillion dead" talking point while being smug about it in a thread about shit political takes. ๐Ÿ’€ You couldn't make this up.

Yeah I literally can't tell if they didn't know where they were, or if it was a troll. So I kinda answered with both lololol.
