We also wiped out Native American populations and stole their land. And enslaved Africans. All in the name of benevolent capitalism. |
| I think the main difference is that compared to facism, communism isn't a very bigoted ideolegy or government, and is and was just ruled by some awful people, and most of the time wearing a hammer and sickle insignia doesn't mean that you're a supporter of Stalin or Mao, however a person wearing a swastika probably would support someone like Hitler. |
| An ideology like facism is built around the systemic oppression of a race of people, however communism has been merely used as a exuse to kill many people, it does not require nor recomend it. |
I can’t even begin with how wrong this is. |
Please list any GOOD produced by Communism? In USSR, China, North Korea, Cuba, ......... |
| Communism is a cult religion that almost always inevitably causes its practitioners to commit mass murder. Every. Single. Time. More deaths were caused by communism than all of the world wars combined. |

| Does anyone even wear Che shirts anymore? Warhol did paintings of Mao. It was just a quirk of the 80's. A response to Gordon Gekko worship. |
The artifical heart and laser eye surgery. |
Along with your communist baby smashing tree:

For the Soviet Union: The satellite, first man in space. The most promising fusion reactor design: Tokamak. Heart-lung machine. China is the leading publisher of scientific research papers in the world. They also produce the most scientists, mathematicians and engineers of any country, many of whom work at our universities. |

That's not communism. |
It's this. Che Guevara was a bad guy, but he didn't set up an execution system to torture and murder six million people and start a six year world war to boot. And I don't think there are a lot of Lenin or Stalin memes or tributes. The hammer and the sickle, sure. You also have to remember that communism has a history as a political movement that did not have as its goal total world domination and the systematic elimination of the "other." Which isn't to say that Stalin was not as bad as Hitler. He was. It was just in a different way. |
Along with fascists. |
