It's hard to do it, huh OP? Like you can't say "Is Bolshevikism good?" because people will laugh at you and you otherwise can't really point to communists advocating for ethnic cleansing. Unlike, say, the loving Nazis. This must be so frustrating for you. The truth has to be in the middle! It just HAS to be!

TomViolence posted:edit: Also, Vietnam, who did Vietnam commit genocide against? Be mindful that if you're going to keep bringing up mass killings, the list of massacres and genocides committed by capitalists, monarchists, fascists, imperialists and other reactionaries only grows and grows and the repressive and murderous communist regimes of the 20th century are hardly exceptional if that's the only criticism people can bring to bear. People starve under capitalism, people are rounded up and killed by death squads or obliterated by air strikes or drone strikes, political leaders are assassinated, people are disappeared to extraterritorial blacksites. If communism is supposed to be qualitatively worse than the status quo because it's historically meant to have been more repressive then other systems that idea is patently false and the evidence is all of human history. Easy there, communism is a bad system because it cannot be implemented into the world. Every country that tried to do communism failed and had really bloody periods of strife. SpaceDrake posted:Quick realtalk: Soviet/Stalinist-style Communism is awful because it's ultimately just oligarchy wearing red clothing. Democratic Socialism, meanwhile, is pretty much the only sensible way to run a high-technology, well-developed civilization in a stable manner (which is why so much of Europe has developed in that direction). had it right back on page one. Now of course these violent periods were caused due to economic issues, not racial ones. Unlike The Actual loving Nazis, who OP is trying desperately to conflate with communists, the entire philosophy is inclusive of all people (whether it is so in practice is another story). Nazism is and always will have exclusivity and racial hatred and superiority built in them. So it is okay to punch Nazis. Which is what this thread is actually about. oh btw if you find any communist hate groups who advocate for genocide of people you can punch them too.
