    Yep according to them every hunger related death under a communist government is communists fault but the many famines under capitalism don’t count against their favorite system.

      Or like the Memorial to Victims of Communism in Canada that was mostly Nazis and collaborators on it.

      Failures in communist countries are systemic issues, failures in capitalist countries are individual failures.

      When you ignore established agricultural science because it’s too capitalist, and your crops fail, starving a significant portion of your country, yeah that’s kinda the governments fault.

        When bourgeois kulaks burn crops to resist collectivization, it’s the the communists government that’s ignoring science. The more you know

        Sitting alone in the highest tower of your mind palace, curtains drawn, coming up with things that happened in the outside world through pure wisdom and common sense

        “What exactly am I talking about?” you say, “Well isn’t it obvious?! Everybody knows!”

        “communists hate science after all!” you add after a moment’s pause.

          Don’t be silly, I ask the nice robed dudes outside to tell me what’s going on in the world in the form of a cool shadow puppet theater.

      I wonder if it would be fairer to count all of them from both sides or have some more selective metric, though that cab be pretty hard to create

        You might be getting closer with that, but this still doesn’t account for the deaths caused by the fallout of decisions under feudal or capitalist systems before switching to communism that took years to repair or deaths caused by imperialist meddling (sanctions, wars, coups).

    And we aren’t even talking about imperialism, capitalism’s highest stage.
