You wrote this, not me. Collective responsibility went out of fashion long time ago.
>I said they - people who fought on the side of the Nazis, particularly against their own country, in order to enable Nazi genocide programs - don't count as victims of Communism.
How many people helped by ARA fought for nazis?
> I literally just asked you - again - what part of the USSR you are from and again you didn't answer.
Moscow. Do you need a street address as well?
> To have even first hand memories, let alone experience, of even the most recent subjects you've talked about you'd have to be about 75 years old. Are you?
You do not need to be anywhere near that old to have experience with, for example, Soviet antisemitism.
> Nice to know that you think the topic of the treatment of Jews constitutes reducing an argument, even in a reply where you were criticizing the anti-Semitism of Stalin (the same Stalin who set up a Jewish homeland on Soviet soil, and was the first person in the world to recognize Israel).
Yeah. I heard there were even a few Jews who went there without being forcibly put into railcars.
> hile ignoring deliberate, systematic and industrial-scale human extermination programs and policies - absolutely unheard of anywhere else in history, before or since - enacted by the Nazis.
Actually, well-heard of, if you care to listen, in every country where communists came to power. You may want to look up one Asian politician with potential. He was really good at making sure his citizens would never engage in any atrocities you would not6 approve of.
> No, the question was about you. Specifically how your life would have been improved had you lived under Nazi occupation, since you argue that what you lived under - Communism - is "quite a bit worse" (your words) than Nazism.
Yes, I noticed, you seem to think that as long as you and yours are fine, it does not matter if millions of other people are killed.
> As I said, like spending their time arguing that what the Nazis did was very minor - "they killed far fewer people" - compared to something else.
Are you saying that those who had killed more people are perfectly fine, as long as they were killing people you do not particularly approve of?
> Again, what kind of person would even think of bothering to exonerate or rehabilitate the Nazis in such a way?
Does not seem to stop you from exonerating communists, who did kill more people.
> The authors of the book could not even decide amongst themselves on which imaginary - but definitely Worse Than The Nazis(tm) - number
Yes, I did notice, you do not consider those killed to be people (hmm, what does it remind one of?), certainly not worth counting.
> Meanwhile MAGA-heads, up to and including the White House itself, cite the number that even the authors - even you - think is going too far (not because it's made up, but because it looks made up).
What does it have to do with anything?
> Since only one number can be true, we know for a certain fact that most of the numbers given have to be false. So why believe any of them?
Yeah, I have heard there are quite a few people who do not think that many Jews were killed by nazis. And there are different numbers, too. Are you sure this is the direction you want to go in?
> I don't. What, specifically, do you mean?
Who, do you think, those people really do not like to associate with?
