    Not “maybe”. Countries were screwed over by communists, people murdered in the thousands with famines that killed millions. People excusing communism - either the Soviet Union or China are delusional.

        “whatabout” doesn’t get you anywhere. There aren’t just two systems. Because newsflash, communism “is busted” too.

      Isn’t the problem there authoritarianism? The Nazis were also authoritarian shitheads, but not communists.

      Source: Author’s ass crack.

      These claims come from the “Black Book of Communism”, an old propaganda piece with wildly bullshit claims (provably so)

        These “claims” as you put it come from a person who has lived in an area and talked to their parents and grandparents about it. So stay in your lane with your “hurr durr propaganda”. Soviets were war criminals, not a utopia and anyone saying otherwise is the one that’s brainwashed by history revisionism.
