Yep according to them every hunger related death under a communist government is communists fault but the many famines under capitalism don't count against their favorite system.
Or like the Memorial to Victims of Communism in Canada that was mostly Nazis and collaborators on it.
I wonder if it would be fairer to count all of them from both sides or have some more selective metric, though that cab be pretty hard to create
When you ignore established agricultural science because it's too capitalist, and your crops fail, starving a significant portion of your country, yeah that's kinda the governments fault.
When bourgeois kulaks burn crops to resist collectivization, it's the the communists government that's ignoring science. The more you know
Sitting alone in the highest tower of your mind palace, curtains drawn, coming up with things that happened in the outside world through pure wisdom and common sense
"What exactly am I talking about?" you say, "Well isn't it obvious?! Everybody knows!"
"communists hate science after all!" you add after a moment's pause.
Don't be silly, I ask the nice robed dudes outside to tell me what's going on in the world in the form of a cool shadow puppet theater.
Also comparing the millions of dead from a single country to the millions dead in a global system is a bit disingenuous
