I never said it wasn’t the truth, I said it was a bad faith argument. You’re bringing up the death-toll from Communism to call them Nazi-equivalents while ignoring the significantly higher death-toll from Capitalism. This is the textbook definition of deflection.
The actual reality is that, no matter what economic system you follow, if you want to kill and oppress people; you will kill and oppress people. Nazis are very clear that they want to kill and oppress people.
There are people that romanticize Communism, I do not (as I’ve said, it’s not a good system). I can still see that Communism is not calling for the death of others for social stability, even if Mao/Stalin/Putin/Xi themselves are.

You are confused about what point you are trying to make. Communists have killed millions. So have nazis. Nazis aren’t welcome because of that. Neither should communists. You launching into a tirade about capitalism is changing the subject and actually strawmanning.

If you cannot see the point after this, it’s beyond saving.

Wow, now we have reached alternate history levels of bullshit I see. Good job using my comment and thinking it’s a “gotcha”. Maybe I should respond back and replace with “gazillions”.

Common sense is not a “gotcha”, its common sense. I don’t know why everyone thinks this a win/lose thing.
You can find many mass killings from capitalist regimes too, its just a very pointless thing to bring up. Nazis do not care how you trade your goods. You have Capitalist-Nazis, Communist-Nazis, and Anarcho-Nazis. They are all Nazis and are not welcome.
Equating a Communist to a Nazi is total horseshit. You can also equate a Capitalist to a Nazi. Or an alien to a Nazi. But its a completely bad faith and ridiculous claim. Convo ends here - done engaging.
