love the 28,326,000 to 126,891,000 range, just absolutely adore it. You’d think 100 million people wouldnt just fucking disappear without any trace, the fucking nazis went hard on death camps and left massive amounts of evidence. Did Stalin drop all the people into hammerspace? Did Lenin personally shove every single person into a bag of holding??
the fucking victims of communism book has been a disaster for the human race
This is exactly the kind of conclusion double genocide theory was intended to produce. You start by pretending that you care about ethnic minorities so you can still pretend to be the good guy but you still conclude with “at the end of the day, the NAZIs weren’t that bad compared to the true evil the soviets.”
the entire population of the SU was <300M just before the fall… the only way you could get something like 126M is if you just count everyone that died of old age or ww2…
so i guess the source must be the victims of communism foundation.
Even better is that those numbers include non-births. Like they’re using the same logic that anti-abortion nuts use.
When a western nation has stabilizing birth rates it’s a sign of progress, but when the soviet’s went through the same process, every reduction in birthrate was extrapolated over it’s whole history as “victims”.
6 million is the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust, maybe let’s not forget (again and again) about the Roma people, the homosexuals, the communists, the soviets POW as well as civilians and the disabled people (and probably other groups I forgot) who got killed as well
To add a couple of related facts: German POWs captured by the Soviets had a death rate of 14%, Soviet POWs of the Germans had a death rate of 54% - and Soviet POWs were the first people killed in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.
Jewish deaths in the Holocaust cannot be disentangled from Germany’s colonial extermination campaign against the peoples of the Soviet Union.
one of the most noticeable impacts of inflation is what it’s doing to communism death tolls over the years. experts say that we’ll be at 150 million deaths from communism by the end of 2025 if historical interest rates are not increased
