Removed Comment Perhaps all the people who would downvote me have already blocked me ;-) But seriously, this is not whataboutism. It's an appeal to recalibrate and come to senses, and most importantly, not dilute an important and serious concept like genocide. Even what happened/is happening in Ukraine is probably not a genocide even though I'm happily 100% against Russia. by @[email protected]

Removed Comment [@Stormyfemme](https://beehaw.org/u/Stormyfemme) I don't know, but it's pretty odd. fosforus effectively just argued that the population of Gaza has been growing since Oct 7, which is a pretty absurd claim under the circumstances. (As well as being based on a fallacious idea that attempted genocides have to be successful in order to count). by livus

Removed Comment >Pol Pot pretended to be a communist, until it no longer suited him and he had them killed. He was the leader of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963-1981, at which point it was rebranded as the Party of Democratic Kampuchea, which he lead until 1985. Also that new party was communist. The Cambodian genocide was roughly 1975-1979. Are you just defining people who are absolutely horrible not communists even though they call themselves communist, are allied with other governments who call themselves communist, and execute similar policies as them? I mean I get the impulse, I also get plenty of negative feelings when I think about pro-free market, pro-freedom politicians who commit atrocities or say stupid shit and would rather that those people don't exist. Sadly, real world doesn't always like us. by @[email protected]

Removed Comment What's your point? Are you saying that there are always people who commit genocides and these people become communist after they read Das Kapital? Communism's main rival is capitalism. If you want to make a fair comparison, you need to include genocides committed by capitalist countries too. And capitalism has been around for a fair bit longer. Not making excuses for communist countries, just putting things a little more in context. > To be fair, I said people "who call themselves communist". Communism and socialism is popular, if you are a populist, an often used strategy is pretending to be the popular thing. Hitler pretended to be a socialist, until he purged all socialists. Pol Pot pretended to be a communist, until it no longer suited him and he had them killed. by @[email protected]

Removed Comment > What about > ... examples Sure, many of these happened in a time where communism was still more like a theory (or not even that yet) than anything tried in practice.

Removed Comment > Why is it almost always the people who call themselves communists? Because you're ignoring genocides committed by others? What about: - native Americans - Irish - Bangladesh - Holocaust - Armenia Just to name a few famous examples. Besides, Pol Pot wasn't much of a communist, as soon as he started the genocide, he lost support from other communist nations, he became a staunch anti-communist and got the support of the USA even more than a decade after the communists deposed him. I'm not going to argue the holodomor with you, but even there, the case is not as simple as you think. On top of that, the existence of bigger genocides doesn't stop making this less of a genocide. by @[email protected]

Removed Comment I mean it's not great what they've done in Gaza, but just to recalibrate your senses a bit, this is what happens when a nation actually commits genocide against a weaker people inside its borders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide A significant metric to look at is population growth. Gaza strip is one of the densest population areas in the world, and it has been growing rapidly. This is, incidentally, the reason why most of their population is under-age. In Uyghur areas, in contrast, population has been diminishing in growing rates. Of course, you shouldn't also ignore the forced labor, political indoctrination, forced sterilization, forced contraception, forced abortion. I don't think Israel has done any of these? Israel has destroyed some mosques in their attacks, whereas China has razed or damaged 16 **thousand** mosques in Uyghur areas. Granted, the area is much larger, so there are probably more mosques in there also. But you should note that China is not at war against Uyghurs, and hasn't been attacked by them -- they're just destroying them. Here's another: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide (Why is it almost always the people who call themselves communists?) And of course there's the Holocaust, but I suppose it's not classy to refer to that in this case. by @[email protected]

Removed Comment Are you saying this is the same level as the holocaust? That was a systemic murdering for the purposes of eliminating jews from the planet. This at its worse, as it currently stands, is an ethnic cleansing. I'm
