Hogs saying that, or saying “communism is worse because it killed more people” are spewing fascist talking points designed to normalize fascism in comparison to the “genocidal death count of communism”

Me fucking too. I have a lib friend that’s a debatelord type and I literally sent him a PDF of Blackshirts & Reds after he freaked out when I said Stalin wasn’t literally Satan and the same as Hitler, and even then he wouldn’t fucking read it. Instead he searched for Parenti on :reddit-logo: and used that as a way of discrediting him.
It was this experience that made me realize he just doesn’t take politics or understanding history and the world seriously at all, and it’s not worth taking his opinions seriously. Trusts reddit’s :le-pol-face: s with more credibility than his friend of 10+ years and won’t even put in the effort to read 250 pages. That’s how powerful :LIB: :brainworms:are.
Yeah no heat coming off this take whatsoever. More of a tepid, room-temperature take.
Agreed

“the camps were developed in order to round up known German communists who were seen as the most die-hard opponents of the Nazi takeover.”
Concentration camps were invented by the British to destroy the Boer republics. See, those farmers were sitting on diamond mines, and such wealth was unsuitable for them. It was better suited to the hands of bankers, who would use the wealth responsibly, making the world safe for the spread of Anglo-Saxon capitalism. So a loan was taken out against the value of the diamonds and an army raised. But lo! The army was defeated! No trouble, a second army was raised. And this one was having problems too! So the British invented the concentration camp as a way to starve the defenseless families of the Boer citizen-soldiers. It worked. South Africa was set up not long after. Blood diamonds flowed freely, and the deBeers cartel came into existence. One tribe of whites invented the concentration camp to use on another tribe of whites (and blacks, they were imprisoned too but nobody remembers this).
