Good thing the Bolsheviks never did anything wrong during their rule, like genociding Poles, committing mass murder in the Baltics, ethnically cleansing Crimean Tatars, brutally crushing workers' protests and stripping them of more rights than even bourgeois capitalist democracies did, running a system of high-mortality slave labor, etc etc etc etc etc.

Yes, the USA is far worse.

How comes? Russian Civil war alone took 6 million Russian lives. USA doesn't even get close.

My source is my history teacher in secondary school, who had actually fled from the Soviet Union, and whose grandparents were dumped out of a train onto the Kirgis steppe without food or shelter by the Bolsheviks, where close to half starved in the first winter, for being of German descent.

My whole extended family on grandfather's side was killed for being jewish. My great grandfather was executed for the sin of not being executed during Holocaust.
You, personally, are trying to whitewash pretty atrocious evils, best case scenario because you're a stupid kid who don't have enough empathy.

So sorry about your loss, didn't ask though

I mean i get your point but that's wild.

There's certain things that you can just assume are universally understood due to their crude nature. You're not gonna argue meaningfully that the Sovjet system didn't kill 20 million people in an attempt to control the population.

After watching the latest Atun-Shei video, I'm using burger instead of bourgeois from now on.

Yeah because it's fucking stupid, the Bolsheviks were not saints, It's not propaganda to know history.
