say what you want but i think it’s pretty cool that they made a “victims of communism” museum. it’s a building where you walk through a main door to get in and learn about people who were victimized by at least ostensibly communist regimes. it’s great because the main door works both ways: if you’re already inside, you can walk through the same door and step into the “victims of capitalism” museum.
There’s a communism museum in prague that i wanted to go see, since they actually experienced “communism” i think it would be pretty good. didnt get the chance when i last went though.
I can’t imagine that the VOC Museum in Washington would be as objective though.
I would imagine the communist museum in prague is something that the post-communist governing party had put up. Not saying it’s bad per se but it’s probably biased as well.
No in 1991 there was a referendum in the USSR on whether to dissolve the workers state, some 75% voted against such a dissolution. They went ahead and did it anyway. Granted no such referendum was held in czechoslovakia, the fact that the public was not consulted before dissolving their nation speaks as to what say the public had in said dissolution.

Turns out lots of victims of communism are Nazis https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/government-should-remove-more-than-330-names-on-victims-of-communism-memorial-because-of-potential-nazi-or-fascist-links-report-recommends
Who woulda thought that two polar opposites would hate each other? I’m shocked! /s
The Black Book of Communism is famous for counting Nazi deaths as “victims” as well.
and aborted fetuses, “non-births” from falling birth rates, people killed by the nazis in the invasion of the USSR…
Definitely, entire articles have been written about the nunerous problems with the Black Book.
They also count abortions in communist countries to pump up that “100 million” claim.
They count people who were never even conceived because people were having less children to pump up the 100 million.
Did they actually though?

It’s super biased. Taken without context it have some nice items but the context is “communism bad”
So the people who have lived through communism think it’s bad?
No, the capitalist system which destroyed the socialism is legitimising itself.
