    While Im not a tankie, they do have some historical appeal. You know like beating the Nazis, some small things here and there.

            Yeah… you’re gonna have to do better than that. That article is almost entirely based on the Black Book of Communism, a known bullshit book filled with ridiculous numbers and “estimates”.

            Like it includes Nazis killed in WW2 as “victims of communism”. And if those are the victims, good riddance in my books…

            Their sacrifice in WW2, which was from a certain point on deliberate and ideology based(as in that they would not accept any rule of nazi ideology), has served even you. Unless you want a world where the nazis didnt lose, you too are in the debt of these tankies.
