wasn’t there an org that counted nazi soldiers killed by the red army, as well as aborted babies in socialist countries, as "victims of communism"?

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 54 points 1 week ago

It gets dumber: they also counted soviets killed by nazis in ww2 and the hypothetical children that dead eastern front nazis never had as victims of communism

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago

Yup, and they're used as the foundational source for Soviet death toll. Wikipedia uses them, even.

Learn today when listening to MapleTakes on Twitch (Canada Comrade). Canada has a "Victims of Communism" monument that they put up. Here is a picture of it blacked out like it's the Epstein files.

They had to black it out because people kept realizing they were all fucking Nazis.

Should have left those names, but etch a little swastika next to every Nazi.

I wonder if anyone has a number on how many people capitalism has killed.

Also the babies that were never conceived due to women in socialist countries getting silly things like rights, bodily autonomy, and careers. According to that one black book.

Some people just seem to need the lies to be true 🤷 Back when I was a bog-standard Western liberal like almost everyone else, I believed all the same crap, but at least I didn’t build my personality around it.
