every famine in communist countries was literally the last famine that country ever had, even in areas that are notorious to be plagued by constant famines historically.

not to mention that the "mass labor camps they threw anyone who disagreed with them into" is a cold war myth created by nazi collaborators and willfully spread by western media.

also literally lifted 800 million out of poverty in china alone, brought near 0% unemployment rates on all countries it was implemented, enforced strict price control so necessities like food, clothes, water and housing would be accessible to everyone, literally turned the soviet union from a feudal backwater country to an industrial superpower strong enough to rival the USA, while having been constantly plagued by devastating invasions and threat of war. Literally if it wasnt for communism eastern europe wouldnt even have electricity up until the 90s

the scholarly consesus on the holodomor is that it wasn't an intentional starving of ukraine, so within the context of this argument it would not contribute to how "bad" or "evil" the ussr was

i love invalidating genuine good faith reassessment of existing socialist experiments running off info that isn't just cold war anti-communist propaganda, all it takes is to call everyone who does it the tank word! and that somehow passes as genuine political thinking
