Yep according to them every hunger related death under a communist government is communists fault but the many famines under capitalism don't count against their favorite system.
Or like the Memorial to Victims of Communism in Canada that was mostly Nazis and collaborators on it.
When you ignore established agricultural science because it's too capitalist, and your crops fail, starving a significant portion of your country, yeah that's kinda the governments fault.
Sitting alone in the highest tower of your mind palace, curtains drawn, coming up with things that happened in the outside world through pure wisdom and common sense
"What exactly am I talking about?" you say, "Well isn't it obvious?! Everybody knows!"
"communists hate science after all!" you add after a moment's pause.
Don't be silly, I ask the nice robed dudes outside to tell me what's going on in the world in the form of a cool shadow puppet theater.
When bourgeois kulaks burn crops to resist collectivization, it's the the communists government that's ignoring science. The more you know
Liberals crying about the death toll from communism, when said made up number includes Nazis killed in the Easter theatre.
Liberals mourning nazis out of sheer ignorance seems telling
The people killed by US soldiers in vietnam war also included too. It's messed up.
Both are true, this is a dumb argument and common bad faith fallacy.
They don't care.
Also they will claim that the death of communism is some widely agreed upon number that is corroborated by numerous organizations and sources.
In reality it is literally like the one single 'study' that proved the autism/vaccine connection. It came entirely from the Black Book of Communism in 1999, and all but the main author disavowed it, and despite the obsession with wanting to reach 100 million. The absolute max it could find was 94 million with a 'most likely' number of 64 million.
So when they give a death toll of 'conservatively 100 million' they are literally pulling it out of nowhere.
The difference is that for the people dying under capitalism, the system is working as intended, and for the people dying under communism, it is not. In both cases, the leaders don't really care, because it works for them.
When you lift out millions out of poverty and increase life expectancy significantly it's the communist leaders not caring. The more you know
Lol as if we can't hate both.
why? And why count hunger deaths under communism as marks against but don't apply this to capitalism much more deaths?
A lot of assumptions being made off of my shitty one line joke, starting to feel like you have an agenda you're trying to push and are attempting to start a fight you've already had in your head.
I maybe a dumbass, but I'm not idiot.
Lol as if we can’t hate both.
please explain what a joke is and how this can be understood as one
Living up to your username
Those are libertarians, the"I got mine and fark everybody else" crowd, not liberals.
What communist country would you like to live in?
China, Cuba, Vietnam. The first two have a higher life expectancy than the US, the richest country in world history.
Levels of whataboutism that would make conservatives proud. Truly quality Lemmy content.
Comparing numbers is not whataboutism. That's literally why numbers exist in the first place, to compare and count.
Average "whataboutism" fan vs average "comparative analysis" enjoyed
