    not sure if this is trying to say that everyone who died at the hands of Communists™ weren’t people, didn’t have souls, or were just universally evil and went to the Bad Place and therefore deserved it, but whichever way, it doesn’t seem like a good look.

      Just to be clear: the claim that communists killed a hundred million people is based of counting, among other things, all Nazis killed by the Red Army as victims of communism.

        yeah, i know that number is horribly inflated, and few ever look at the considerably larger death toll that ought to be ascribed to capitalism, but to suggest that the any state, such as the ussr, doesn’t have any blood on its hands seems naive at best, and actively deceptive at worst.
