    How is saying Stalin wasn’t a great guy either denying the holocaust?

    Also this isnt true, Jewish people, Roma, nuerodivergent people, disabled people, trade unionists socialists, communists, gay people, trans people, the list goes on.

    Yes ofc, but a big percentage of the deportated people were Jewish. They killed two thirds of the European Jewish population.

    High estimates for people killed by the USSR outside of defeating nazism, failures, and sabotage is in the 100,000s

    No: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_mortality_in_the_Soviet_Union_under_Joseph_Stalin

      Stalin for example was a mass murderer just like Hitler. So why would anybody like him?

      Here is a mainstream Jewish holocaust survivor saying equating the communists and fascists is holocaust trivialization.

      You have compared communists and fascists, thus trivializing the Holocaust.

      Are you referring to famines caused by the Kulaks destroying grain exacerbating a natural famine cycle, something that was somewhat common before the modern era. If you are, would you also say that every death caused by starvation due to poverty in capitalist countries should count towards the leader’s “death count”?
