I don’t need a quote. I have the history. Go, find me a quote that proves they didn’t commit mass murder for socialism…
Youre literally doing a guilty by association argument. Please, beyond the fact that they were “socialist” please give me a quote of one if them saying they were committing mass murder in the name of “socialism”
Socialism has nothing to do with genocide. Canada has universal health care. Who has Canada committed genocide against? Ethnic cleansing and genocide are not tenants of socialism or communism. They are abuses of power.
Did you know that the USA was involved in the enslavement of millions and fought a bloody civil war where 100,000s of americans died on our own soil? What does that say about “capitalism” and the USA?

Venezuela and the Soviet Union were both pure socialist countries. That means government control and ownership of the means of production.
No, Venezuela can be held accountable for their own disaster but not for the mass murder of the soviets…just like the KKK can be held accountable for their actions but not the mass murders of the NAZIs.
But socialism was behind one just as racism was behind the other.
You still have not connected socialism to the mass murders. Youre simply doing guilt by association. Was capitalism responsible for the Civil War? Why hasnt Canada collapsed or been involved with genocide? Remember that guy that sent bombs to a previous presidents amd news outlets? He was a trump supporter. Does that mean Trump’s policies are responsible? Maybe the issue is with DICTATORS that are crazy. Nothing in “socialism” says genocide and mass murder or dictatorships are good. In fact, socialism can align with a democracy with checks and balances quite well.

The Soviets killed anyone who opposed the confiscation of property and the establishment of communism in Russia. That is cause and effect, not coincidences.
Thats not “socialism”. Thats an irresponsible justice system and dictatorship. Quit equating the two.
Canada has universal health care. Are they murdering opposition to it?

The motivation for killing millions was the implementation of a socialist paradise, just as the motivation of the NAZI murders was racial purity. That does not mean all socialists are for mass murder or all racists are for genocide. However, those are instances where that was the motivation.
So far, the success rate for actual socialism, meaning the means of production controlled by the state, has been ghastly.
“Paradise” is the keyword. There isnt a “socialist paradise”. What you are referring to are dictators and bad people. Nothing about socialism involves mass murder and genocide
Who have the Canadians perforned genocide on?

Are you saying in Canada the government owns and controls all means of production? That is what Venezuela and the Soviets had in common…until most of the production stopped in each.
Every degree of responsibility! They went from a prosperous Democratic So American country to a Socialist country and in 12 short years destroyed themselves! I mean seriously we are getting a RT lesson is the horror of socialism!
I think people declare socialism to be what they envision. The Nordic countries will tell you straight up their not socialist. They do have a generous welfare system though.
Are you saying universal health care isnt socialism?
Details would help. Youre just saying it is because it is
and the reason 100 million died under socialism is because it gives the govt too much power over individual. That’s why it attracts psychopaths like Maduro and Castro. And even our soft socialism has landed us 20 trillion in debt making our children slaves to it.
It is… It’s just not that great, and stifles innovation. Also Socialists can set up their own universal system any time they want. Many christian churches have already.
Can you please show me where Canadians have committed genocide in the name of universal health care?
They didn’t. But how many die waiting to get medical service?
And That does not change the history of death from unbridled socialism… It’s starving children right now in Venezuela.
I watched Madcow last night not able to bring herself to call for Maduro to step down, and dem senator, not quite defending Maduro, but bashing Trump for trying to help restore democracy…
