Unlike Nazis, Communists allow anyone to fantasize that they will be among the tiny elite that gets to boss everyone else around.
“Reason Number 2: Nazis carried out the Holocaust. Nothing matches the Holocaust for pure evil. The rounding up of virtually every Jewish man, woman, child and baby on the European continent and sending them to die is unprecedented and unparalleled. Communists killed far more people than the Nazis, but never matched the Holocaust in the systemization of genocide. The uniqueness of the Holocaust and the enormous attention rightly paid to it has helped ensure that Nazism has a worse name than communism.”
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Stalin DID try to conduct the Doctor’s Plot, and besides which, there WAS a systematic attempt to exterminate religion as a whole in the name of Atheism, especially Christianity, and they did systematically go after business owners. And it’s not just Communism of the 20th century. The French were VERY systematic in their attempts at exterminating Christianity from France.
That bit also reminds me, I’m actually surprised that they haven’t really condemned the French Revolution yet, or mentioned its ties to Communism and to a certain extent Nazism/Fascism.
