While were at it, let's throw in the British and United States' flags for their histories of slavery, colonialism, and the murders of millions.

Last I checked the British and Americans did not murder millions of their own citizens for political power, as happened in USSR.

good point, we just gave them syphilis

Your comparison is off by a whopping 5 orders of magnitude. It’s not even close.

Murdering millions of other nations citizens is equally as bad or even worse than murdering your own.

Equally bad, ok, yes perhaps. Worse? Absolutely not.

These countries stopped those activities long ago. The Soviets never stopped. They had to be broken up.

Plenty of xountries have been comitting genocide recently. Canada and china for one, the us too, etc..

How recent is your recent?

China like last 5 years. It is ongoing thing.

You pick. I'd say recent is 25 years, but whatever you feel is fair is fine with me.

Past 5 years?

What genocide has Canada committed recently?
