Systematic slaughter/enslavement of innocent people on a intercontinental scale that continued for generations or some government/military officials get merced and some of them might have been innocent. I don’t even understand the equivalence this person is going for
A lot of the people killed in the purges were definitely innocent, that was even the contention of Stalin. That was why he purged Yagoda and particularly Yeshov.
If we simply take for granted that all of them are innocent (and many were, probably most, but there were also real threats) then this is still not as bad as what America did, so it’s such a strange thing to say.
It’s so weird for an anticommunist to say that the killing of people who, if they were innocent, were dedicated and loyal old bolsheviks is worse than genocide.
I mean thanks for putting the value of communist lives so high I guess.
