And how many died under Stalin? How many have died under Chinese rule?
So Stalin helped kill a buttload of Nazis which is nice.
And saying "under Chinese rule" is a weird way to state it. I mean, of course the Chinese people should rule themselves. Unless you're butt hurt about China resisting the western colonial powers and murdering a bunch of capitalists.
Given the bad faith of your comment, I feel no need to elaborate, clarify, or provide nuance.
How many were killed by the UK, US, France etc?
Under Churchill millions of Indians died in the Bengal famine
There was the Madras famine before that, which is less known.
British rule killed millions of Indians.
USAmerica caused the genocide in Guatemala. Carpet bombed Vietnam, Laos, Korea etc.
Couped Chile
The war on terror stuff
The Indonesian massacre on anti-capitalists or neutrals
Tried to threaten India during the Bangladeshi independence movement, by sending ships with nuclear weapons.
The U S S R sent its nuclear submarines to create a stalemate.
The capitalist country tried to threaten us with atomic weapons and the communist nation helped us get a stalemate and stable existence using their own.
France arranging coups in African nations.
Why stop at those who died under rule of Stalin, why not compare the deaths caused by capitalist nations in their conquests to defend freedom and democracy and educate the brown and black people?
Only one country has used atomic bombs on civillian towns, that too twice.
The main countries that have a 'No first use policy' are U S S R(past), India and China.
Aren't the communists and socialists the decent ones there?
You can say that it is a superficial move for propaganda. If so, why didn't the other major countries do the same?
It indeed shows a difference in policy.
