Socialism is good, everyone deserves the same opportunities and safety net.

You cant remove communism for the mass murder. You cant forget the people starved to death or worked to death in name of communism. Fuck everyone waving that flag the same way fuck everyone waving a nazi flag. If that offends you, go cry.

I get that you're triggered but it is not okay to attack other people like this.

Please read a book. It will help you. Get off the internet for a moment and start reading. Understand what people mean when they say communism instead of trying to get them to shut up. We will never shut up. You will always get triggered and hurt other people. That is literally what we are trying to stop.

The definition of communism is the classless, stateless society. You're not even referencing anything in particular. What you - i think - are talking about is stalinism. That i havent been too much into yet. I have heard about the infamous gulags which apparently have been horrendous.

Btw its also illegal in the country i live in to compare what the nazis in the holocausy did with anything else. We call it holocaust relativism.

I get its now cool to wave around symbols of mass murder regimes and stomp all over those who were murdered in the name of it on lemmy.

Since when its okay to not call out apologists for systems that have historically lead to mass fucking murder and countless atrocities beyond human comprehension every single time?

You're all morals and no facts. Nobody said murder, let alone mass murder would be okay.

You dont like the symbol i get it.

Now stop with the strawmen. Its not what is happening here.
