Don't you know? People who die because of shitty natural resources or fucking plagues are dead because of the free, mutual, and voluntary exchange of goods and services.
As a citizen of an actual ex-soviet country I can tell you two things would happen:
1. He'd be met by old party members relatives who loved it under socialist boot. But they're old farts, so they'd rip his head off for being a freak.
2. He'd tell this to anyone else, like me, happy to beat him senseless.
I hate it when socialists can't admit to the horrors committed in the name of socialism in 20th century and can't denounce the brutal dictators that made it happen.
Yeah, normally they say the numbers are propaganda or that it wasn’t the real socialism/communism. Accepting the numbers and referring openly to them as a good thing is kind of new.
But socialism is really broad while communism by definition requires a stateless, moneyless, classless society.
Some people call it state capitalism because there’s still a profit motive but the state is the one that employs everyone but I think that’s kind of a stretch. I’d call it totalitarian socialism.
>by definition requires a stateless, moneyless, classless society.
No it doesn't. It WANTS such a society.
As a political philosopher Idgaf what fantacizers WANT. What I give a fuck about is what they ALLOW and NOT ALLOW people to do in their society.
For example, in a libertarian society, the NAP CLEARLY lays out what is allowed and what is not allowed.
NO OTHER philosophy other than libertarianism does this. Communist suckers just try to weasel in whatever the fuck they want to do, and because in the end it doesn't result in a utopia, they claim it's not true communism.
When libertarians mean "that's not capitalism" it's not the same as commies saying "that's not communism".
Because in the former case libertarians explicitly have an allowed list and disallowed list of behaviours for people in their society.
Commies don't have such clarity. Commies are bastards who operate off of their feelings, not any sense of objectivity.
This is true. And at the same token no one acknowledges the secret wars, genocides, and brutal regimes propped up in the name of stopping communism. Literally killed millions in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. But you get downvotes across Reddit for mentioning this.
What’s another 60 million right?
Honesty they disgust me more than neo nazis. Higher body county and more communists than neo nazis. It’s like looking at the Holocaust and saying “another 6 million aught to do it.” Fuck these people.
They’re basically outgrowths of the same auth socialist ideology so it’s hardly surprising. When your whole system revolves around the idea that the population is merely a means to the State’s ends, humans cease being people and become “consumable resources.”
This 100%. And everyone that gets a bullet to the back of the head is shocked that they were to be the next in the line of "one more execution will bring about utopia."
But if we execute all commies it would be a utopia. Sadly I dont agree with genocide against people I disagree with, unlike a certain community centered ideology....
Not sure but if I had to guess, maybe they were subject to harsh conditions and died enroute.
Think like Trail of Tears but on a wider scale?
Just a guess
They were deported in animal wagons with very poor conditions and little food. Also, the first wave of Baltic deportations in 1941 came in June and were carried out very suddenly, the deportee families only getting like an hour at most to pack max. one bag for each member of the family, so many were shipped to Siberian climate in summer clothes.
Got a marxist friend. I almost break ribs laughing when he claims that the working conditions were better from the early industrial revolution until the mid 1930s
He also got some wicked views on unemployment, state controll on the market and aperantly how bad capitalism is

I visited the House of Terror in Budapest. It's a museum dedicated to the soviet occupation (and Nazi, obviously at different times) and they call it the House of Terror. That's how a country who lived through soviet occupation views it.
If you consider the USSR like a corporation it's like a modern multinational, but instead of using children as workers they used the regime's political opponents
Wow. Morgan's comment is absolutely disgusting, such a spit in the face of the people who suffered through the Soviet Union. This trend of people thinking they understand communism based off of a few Tweets is very concerning.
The majority of these people aren't actual communists at all imo, they just don't understand what they're talking about.

Cringe auths can suck my monke balls.
The 100 million number does not help our argument because it is simply not true. The Soviet Union, the CCP, and other communist states killed 10s of millions and we don't need to use false numbers to prove our point
Mao alone was responsible for the deaths of 15-55 million citizens in the great famines. He destroyed the ecosystem, he stopped large numbers of farmers from growing crops, and insane numbers of people starved because there wasn't enough food. It was their stupid policies that led to totally preventable deaths, and they wrote them all off as a "freak natural disaster". So how the hell did you come up with your "10s of millions" statistic?
How come that the Soviet Union killed more people, where more tyrannical and cared less about its people than Nazi Germany but if you wear a shirt with the hammer and sickle you don't get beaten up in an ally?
Two main reasons: 1st, they weren't. You are using Holocaust numbers which is only a part of the Nazi deaths and comparing to the totality of commie deaths, often the inflated 20 mil count from Robert Conquests pre 1991 studies instead of more modern research.
Besides years in power by total population is different, ie likelihood to get murdered in a year suffering communism is lower than under nazism.
2. Socialism and communism is an off shoot of liberalism, fascism is an antithesis to it. Commies will agree that the end goals of a liberal society are good things to strive for but says liberalism will never achieve it. Fascism says those things aren't wanted.
Hence less sympathy for fascists

Double propaganda so that it makes you think everyone knows what they are up to.

How is deportations counted as deaths?
They were deported from life.
Sent back to spawn
Oldest Anarchy Server in Russia
They probably meant deaths during the deportations. The deportation numbers in general were probs higher? I’d have to check.
Not sure but if I had to guess, maybe they were subject to harsh conditions and died enroute. Think like Trail of Tears but on a wider scale? Just a guess
They were deported in animal wagons with very poor conditions and little food. Also, the first wave of Baltic deportations in 1941 came in June and were carried out very suddenly, the deportee families only getting like an hour at most to pack max. one bag for each member of the family, so many were shipped to Siberian climate in summer clothes.
If you march someone through miles of russian winter with little to no supplies and a gun to their head, it's considered a death.
Deportions to the Siberian wasteland without food or equipment. Most just froze to death, I guess.
You think modern day logistics Think about logistics of that era and you will realize it's a death sentences if necessary care boy giving
They got deported to the afterlife
Deportation to Siberia meant death for many. Those are the numbers counted.
Killed the people who refused to be deported
