    Isn’t that exactly the point of the person on the top right? They’re defending against the “Communism bad” stance, by trying to communicate that it isn’t exactly a fair stance when talking about atrocities as it’s always powerful, authoritarian nutcases doing them. It’s not like it’s part of the communist agenda to be fucking horrible.

    • I think the logic is that if bad thing (A) (e.g. genocides) happens in both communist and capitalist societies then its not the communism that’s the factor causing bad thing (A)

      No, because it’s often said to deflect any criticism of second-world governments. Like “Nuh uh, Stalin wasn’t bad! Just look at the Trail of Tears!”
