The Russian revolution is not a good example if you are talking about the October revolution. It cannot be stated objectively that it turned out to be worse, and, in fact, for many replacing the czars with the Bolsheviks led to a lot better living conditions.
- mkoubaa 7mo agoTell that to the 60 million people who died in the Holodomor.
- b345 7mo agoHolodomor was the result of several unfortunate events including the Ukranian kulaks burning their produce to protest collectivisation, a natural famine and misjudgement of the State. If the responsibility of Holodomor lies solely with the USSR, the nexus between the NATO and occupied Palestine are responsible for at least a billion deaths, going by your intellectual honesty standards. I have factored in death due to military interventionism, gun laws, and capitalism related deaths (death from being uninsured, hunger, poverty).
- mkoubaa 7mo agoI have no problem with the proposition that the post-ww2 global order is responsible for a billion deaths.
- antisthenes 7mo agoWhy not 120 million? What about the 240 million who died under the tzarist regime? If you're going to make up nonsense numbers, why stop there?
