> the ideology was fundamentally one that no one was able to question safely. so according to you there are only 2 ideologies in the world: dictatorship and non-dictatorship. I guess simplification is always a great start for an intellectual conversation. By saying that, you essentially dismissed the entire premise of this discussion, because fascism and communism are the same thing I guess, so what are we even talking about? Also if you're going to compare body counts, then do it right - First of all, all communist statistics are unreliable estimation, they didn't exactly brag about that to the outside world, do they. - Second of all, communism was deployed to a much larger population, during a longer time frame, unlike fascism. Seems like you're arguing communism is worse because it's not bad enough to die early, so it lasted and did more damage, which is a ridiculous argument.
