@kel93934@esjesjesj The famine wasnt created by mao either only exacerbated by it. There were many famines before china with or without communism. To say that mao caused a genocide is hyperbole, it was a time of transformative policy making and focusing on self reliance. It absolutely was terrible.
@The_Other_Guy54@tomrh1988@reignmark001@kvnisnthere@esjesjesj Capitalism absolutely did create wars and thats the whole point of the inflammatory meme. The great leap forward’s death came with a famine and chinese history in china doesnt celebrate it as a all around success either. If u cant blame capitalism for famnies you cant blame comm
@kel93934@esjesjesj To me its like blaming the president for the dust bowl or blaming the president for poor response to covid. Which is fine but then conflating he killed those people is stupid.
@Zizlah@esjesjesj No what does that even mean? The number isnt the question here its what “genocide” definitionally means. Intent matters. No one is arguing that what happened during that time period is good
@supremeMilo@Chief1496@esjesjesj Theres things that mao did that are good and influential and things that mao did were bad. This thing that was bad is through awful policy making and incompetence not systematic elimination
@BovinKlaas@esjesjesj No one is arguing its not bad. No one is saying its not shit. Its just not deliberately systematically killing people. Thats the distinction and that distinction determines if something is a genocide
@c000game@UnseenJapanSite What. The reason why they were taken away is cause of aum. Just install trashcans and stop beating your chest because clearly its not working and its just better to install some trashcans
@Ifitsthisname@Aphelaeon@karlmarxisright@Blooshier@Phil_Lewis_ How is it a disregard, the ussr was being occupied by nazi germany, what did you think would be better? Capitulate? Communism liberated and industrialized these nations. China from the kmt, colonialism and warlords. Russia from the white shirts and romanovs. Seems notable
@StrangeCharmer@DKruegerAuthor@Acyn Your “right is might” chest beating causes death and destruction. Its better to teach future generations to recognize our shortcomings.
@StrangeCharmer@DKruegerAuthor@Acyn What are u talking about. Telling people they have a right to their land and then taking it anyway isnt gracious, its called being a conniving lying piece of shit
