When I’m in a making up large numbers contest and my opponent is an anti-communist.
This is true, and I appreciate it.
TBH, some anti-communists also make up small numbers, to deny genocides.
oh snap it’s braininabox! We got a constellation of stars going on in this post.
Commies gotta pump those numbers up if they want to come even close to capitalism’s death toll.

ANOTHER 100 BILLION TRILLION DEAD UNDER COMMUNISM!
No no, thats how this site works.
Sorry
child in the Ivory Coast dies from slavery farming chocolate for foreign consumption
ANOTHER 1 DEAD UNDER CAPITALISM!
See thats better! Instead of blaming the Ivory coast’s labor practices blanket blame global capitalism. You’re getting it!
As opposed to blanket blaming everything that happens under a socialist nation to reach the absurd metric of 200 million?
Chippy is an idiot. No need to waste time asking them for any substance
That seems pretty agressive bud. I’m over here having fun. I’ll have you know I’m actually pretty smart, … so… there!
Exactly
Hilarious that this source was just used to prove your bullshit and now you’re trying to flip it around in your favor. Fucking loser 😂
You think I was using that source in my favor? Or that it proves literally anything? That’s fantastic. Also, that last part was hurtful and I demand an apology. I’d also like you to work on understanding context. I believe you can be better if you work at it.
This figure seems to come from the Black Book of Communism except multiplied by 2.
Yeah, the real ragebait here is that OP can’t event get the fake number right SMH 😔
Nah its from Death by Government: Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1900 by R.J. Rummel https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/998056.Death_by_Government
Interesting guy
Doesn’t have to have perfect opinions on everything to write a good book. Look at Marx and his views on jews/minorities or Schopenhauer and his views on women.
looks interesting
Covers lots of governments. It’s pretty dense but manageable.

I will down vote because you have said something that my Lemmy-Cult finds offensive and also say something about how you are capitalist pig monster.
Communism has never been done poorly in control of shit people, it only ever bring joy and happy to all.

My favorite is when they try to spin any communist leader as a good guy. Stalin in particular.
No such thing as a communist leader.
Edgy Marxists be like “Real communism has never been tried”
No? Marxists generally believe socialism can and does exist, and has existed thus far. The minority of Marxists believe it hasn’t.
Nah, just Trots
