Oddbean new post about login | logout "Roses are red, Violets are blue, There is the State, And then there is YOU" Professor Rummel's "Death By Government" is about the 20 most democidal governments of the 20th Century. Only six of those were self-declared Leftists, plus one "maybe". Can we stop trying to make everything about the Left/Right seating plan of Parliamentarians in 1700s France? It's pointless, divisive and cringe. Sheds heat but not light.

Briefly looking at your reference: "In sum the communist probably have murdered something like 110 million or near two thirds of all those killed by governments, quasi or guerrillas from 1900-1987." She is an optimitistic communist, which I denounce. If she was an optimistic slave trader I would point out those autrocities. I am allowed to discuss one aspect at a time.
All you are doing is shitposting in somebody else's thread, and you don't even have an original or interesting point.
I am responding to a phd candidate on bitcoin mining who said she was optimistic about her leftist movement and yet was apparently baffled at how I could dare ask how anyone could be optimistic about an ideology that has killed 100 million plus people. To which she has no answer. But you are now concerned about maintaining some retard internet decorum. Makes sense.
