Communism and fascism

[Filuwaúrdjan]

If it is assumed that by "Communism", you mean "Marxist"-Leninism (and all later versions such as Stalinism, Maoism and so on) then option one. Obviously.

They are obviously far more different from each other than similar to one another, in the sense that their similarities are those that all systems of government share.

Even by your standards this is contemptible idiocy. "Congratulations".

Your post seems intended to insult, gnome.  But I noticed you make no attempt to refute.  I find it amusing that a lot of you fellows can convince yourselves that it was all Hitler or Stalin's fault and completely ignore the brutality inherent in our society.

Somewhere between 20 and 50 (obviously accurate statistics don't exist) million people were murdered by the Soviet government between 1917 and 1953.

Try again.

So?  The Nazi government has an impressive figure,

I don't think I ever claimed that the crimes of the U.S.S.R were especially unique.

You can't seriously believe that rubbish. Not unless you're a fourteen year old Trot.

I will note here that the U.S government is not responsible for the murder of a minimum of 20 million of its own citizens over a period of 35 years or so.
Asserting that there is something normal about the crimes of the Soviet Union manages to be factually inaccurate, intellectually dishonest and deeply offensive all at the same time.

Again, "congratulations".
