This meme was born out of .ml users spamming my post mentioning branches of the family tree that were killed in Europe. Once one finds a post that hurts their political feelings, five more clowns come out of the woodwork

“Communism has never existed so any criticism of communist regimes is invalid”

This isn’t the prevailing attitude on this platform at all and so you saying this feels very fictitious and fabricated for a cheap political win against a strawman.

You can look at my post history and check the comments on the communist related posts. You’ll find quickly tha5 you’re wrong.

This is your most recent “communism bad” post (I’m not going to go through your entire post history). Genuinely not a single reply to your post in the vein you described before. The stance you describe is so exceedingly uncommon on this platform that it cannot be found in any comment on this post of yours from a week ago.
Most of the rebuttals are “capitalism kills more” and “black book of communism (and related sources) bad” and “a lot of those are dead nazis and dead nazi fighters,” where implicit in all these claims is that places like the USSR, China, Cuba, Vietnam, etc. are socialist and striving for communism. This is in fact the exact opposite of your strawman.

Your position is that it’s not a common rebuttal? My post about the Berlin wall has plenty as do many of my other posts lmao.

It is very possible to both acknowledge that communism has not, in fact, existed and that regimes that used the word “Communist” are deserving of criticism. It could stand to happen more often tho
