All the deaths from labor camps and non-conforming parties is facile?
The way the VOC people count them, yes. They include Nazis as victims for goodness sake. You can't take it seriously.
I just look at numbers. Once you start discounting certain human lives over others, it all becomes dangerous.
You're the one discounting lives. The murder rate for the Holocaust was at least 1.25 million per year and they had plans to keep going. The dubious allegations in the Black Book of Communism don't even come close to that kind of efficiency and completely discount the lives saved by having defeated the Nazis, which would not have been possible without the USSR's incredible sacrifice. It's one thing to have resentment for communism. It's just incredibly messed up to say that it's as bad or worse than Nazism.
