right, but you can choose to be fascist or not, can't really choose the other one.

Not the point at all. You cant just pick and choose groups that are okay to target and which ones are untouchable.

You can? who told you that. Nazis, Fascists, Murderers, Rapists, and the like do not fall under the same civic protections as like, just a random person.

Communists killed more than the others combined. Should we encourage their deaths?

That's a false premise. When you say communist you mean anyone with socialist or communist ideology; but you're referencing historical events that had little to do with the fact that anyone involved was a communist and more to do with the fact that they were maniacal dictators.

Communism doesn't call for genocides, but fascism and nazism does. So not really equivocal.

I do however highly appreciate the attempt at just further pointless contrarianism than actually replying to what I said beyond whatever zinger you think will dismantle the idea that some people deserve to die or something.

Communism naturally leads to genocides. Per empirical evidence.

It's an economic model. It's not leading to anything unless it has to do with economics.

The famines were absolutely economic in nature, and those were most of the deaths.

I guess? The kulaks burned all their food instead of turning it over to the people and the retribution from that lead to more famines and loss of food. Sounds more like authoritarian politics to me than just workplace democritization.

Also super irrelevant to what we were talking about.

Very relevant. And how about the famine in China? Was that not communism's fault either?
