Communists in USSR killed about 10x more innocents than Nazi. (Did you heard about Holodomor?). Why Nazi bad but USSR isn't?
And usually with good reason. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Book_of_Communism for details of the 94 million deaths of their own people.
The USSR perpetuated the Great Purge and the Holodomor, which together killed approximately 5M people (estimates vary). This is a matter of historical fact, not just belief.
Fair enough, combined all purposive deaths, though hotly debated, per wikipedia under Stalin alone the number ranges from 8 to 61 million. So my tens of millions in that context is not out of line though safer to say millions. Either way its abhorrent.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_Communist_...
not just idle speculation, Communism lead to somewhere between 85 and 100 million deaths in the 20th century:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_Communist_...
Read up on history. Communism caused millions of needless deaths.
Sure, tell that to the relatives of the 4 million Ukrainians who died during Stalin's farming reforms, to the 2 million Chinese who died during the Cultural Revolution, or to the 2 million Cambodian victims under Pol Pot.
It was bad enough just the way it was, with 80 - 100 million people being killed by the communists.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_Communist_...
Why 70, so you can ignore the millions killed by Stalin and communism?
The Soviet Union killed 100m of its own citizens. Now what doesn't look so bad?
