    I just want to know if those excess deaths are part of the Marxist ideology or not. You say the USSR was a country following Marxist theory. At least 7 million people died either because they were killed by the state or died through negligence. Are all those deaths explained away by “The war caused their deaths” and “They deserved it anyways”? Were a significant number of them killed despite the USSR being marxist or because of it?

      If we apply the same measure to capitalism then we can get hundreds of millions of deaths

      Churchill himself is responsible for various deliberately engineered famines and genocides.

      And you’re really here crying over some assholes who got executed? Do capitalist countries not execute people? Wanna also talk about all the innocent people CIA killed to defend capitalism?

      You’re just arguing in bad faith, regurgitating the same garbage we’ve heard a million times before
