    None of the 2 mentioned are genocided.
    And the fact you’re commenting about China, Iran, Russia, etc. neing authoritarian while there’s full on censorship in the west about this post is typical.

    You’re part of the deluded, pretentious 10% of the world calling themselves ‘the international community’ with ‘their western values’.
    Already hated for centuries of imperialism and now this total support for genocidal maniacs.
    Anyone in touch with people outside of the western online community knows they will not forget this either.

      Agreed. Plus those are rookie numbers. Mao killed at least 40 million people on accident. Imagine what he could do if he put effort in.

            Most estimates range from 15-30 million. A smaller proportion of the population than the Irish potato famine which was caused by British mismanagement but I don’t hear that talked about as a reason why capitalism is terrible much.

              15-30 million

              Hello yeah Mao stays winning.

              I don’t hear that talked about as a reason why capitalism is terrible much.

              Probably because the overwhelming majority of people agree it was bad, especially here on lemmy. Find me 5 people that say the potato famine was good, actually, and I’ll find you 3 entire instances that’ll ban me for saying “maybe killing 15-30 million people for societal progress isn’t the best strategy.”

              Tankies get more pushback here because nobody is singing the praises of capitalism.

                Yeah people agree the famine in China was bad too. Even Mao and other officials in China agreed there were mistakes and made changes afterwards. Are you aware China experienced devastating famines on average of once a century for the previous 2000 years before that? There hasn’t been a famine since then.

                  Say that on the triad I fucking dare you.

                  Under a system with significant capitalist elements, you western dog. How many billionaires are there in China?
