After reading responses it is very clear that they are based on emotion rather than historical fact. Quoting the black book of communism for example is not beneficial to any argument as its figures have repeatedly been rubbished. The Danish (I think) communist party released figures in there newspaper which showed that from over the same time period as the soviet union’s existence the USA has been responsible for the deaths of more people than the soviet union ( Vietnam and funding of south American dictators mainly). That’s not even considering the number of avoidable deaths that happen in the US because of its unjust health system or the millions it is indirectly responsible for through economic warfare in the developing world.
Comrades we need to develop our discourse to rubbish these fools but I don’t view these reactionary blog spots as the sites of struggle.
