Yes, 60 million dead is powerful propaganda.
- swayvil 10y agoMao Zedong killed 65 million, Stalin killed 23 million and Hitler killed 17 million. But it's Hitler that we remember. It's Hitler that gets cited by right-thinking fellows on the internet. It's Hitler's logo that gets banned from the tshirt stores. Why? Hitler's crew had strong propaganda, that's why. Propaganda is what rolls around in the media, and the public mind, for centuries. Not reality. I guess "marketing" is the more common term. Marketing can turn black into white and day into night. It is powerful.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoWho has forgotten Stalin? Or Mao?
- swayvil 10y agoThink of it as as meme. The Hitler meme is big, the Stalin and Mao memes are not so big. You can look them all up on google but it's Hitler that gets cited in convo.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoOk but to be fair, Hitler is a 'western' meme. Stalin and Mao didn't kill westerners.
- serge2k 10y ago> Mao Zedong killed 65 million, Stalin killed 23 million In their countries. > and Hitler killed 17 million. You have to include the WW2 deaths.
