    If you knew anything about Soviet Union, you’d know that number is correct. During 50s, SU started Project Red Loop, in which people were given immortality serum and repeatably killed in various ways, to test it’s military potential. Some test subjects were killed over 50k times.

    fuck everything else, this guy’s spittin. soviets defeated death but used it to do more murder.

    No matter how outlandish the Black Book death count is, its always way less than even a conservative estimate of deaths caused by capitalism. The British Empire alone tops these numbers

      My guess is every surplus death in a third world country where the Soviet Union supported a revolution.

        I looked this guy up assuming that he might have arrived via Operation Paperclip, but no, despite his name he was actually born in Ohio.

        He tried to argue here that “democracies don’t make war” and then said the US doing covert action against other countries doesn’t count because “actchually the countries they targeted weren’t democracies, and it was okay because gobbunism bad, also the CIA is bad and not democratic but they wouldn’t do those things if they had more Democracy smuglord” Like he actually tried to redefine “war” as armed conflicts strictly between international-community-1international-community-2 so that any suffering the US inflicts on other countries is justified because they are Spreading Democracy™ and aren’t actually wars because the victim countries aren’t “democracies.”

        Also apparently the US Civil War wasn’t a war because the Confederacy “was not recognized by any major Power, which means that it was not recognized as an independent state.”
