    It just happens that communist regimes commited all these atrocities. Pure accident.

    People were starving in the great depression

    Great depression happened once and had the span of 10 years. Communism has history of massive poverty and starvation over the entire 20th century. For the entirety except few periods of economic distress, the wealth difference between communist and capitalist states is unquestionable. Communism doesn’t work. It doesn’t work to the point of former USSR puppet states voting it away in democratic elections… Once the fall of USSR allowed untampered elections that is.

      There was a great depression, and many many small depressions.

      At least capitalism gave us door dash and only fans. So people can survive.

      Btw atrocities are not exclusive for communism. But i guess you don’t count all the humans killed by colonial and capitalist regimes. And don’t get me started on raping the environment. For somebody’s fifth yacht.

        And don’t get me started on raping the environment

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_in_Russia

        Many of the issues have been attributed to policies that were made during the early Soviet Union, at a time when many officials felt that pollution control was an unnecessary hindrance to economic development and industrialization

        By the 1990s, 40% of Russia’s territory began demonstrating symptoms of significant ecological stress, largely due to a diverse number of environmental issues, including deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution, and nuclear waste.[2] According to Russia’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Russia is currently warming 2.5 times faster than the rest of the globe

          And Russia somehow had it’s own ecosystem and is not connected with the global climate.

          You get a hard-on hating communism like some who hate blacks or muslims, you were conditioned into that. Rich western white people tend to do that.

            Better. My parents were born in it. My grandparents live through it, and I spend my childhood in ruined economy after this garbage has been abolished. If you played Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, this was my childhood IRL. (Stadium with illegal weapons and software included). Even with access to EU common market and EU infrastructure subsidies it took two decades before this place became worth living in.

            You are a fucking child, and haven’t seen a jack shit in your life.
