I've seen too much of this. No, the nazis and the Soviets were not equivalent.

Do. Better.

Just so long as the depth and breadth doesn’t obscure the basic facts:

The Nazi government consciously decided to exterminate about 12 million people, in an attempt at ~~ethnic cleansing~~ genocide based on race
The Soviet Union’s government consciously decided to exterminate about 1.6 million people, in an attempt at political cleansing
The Soviet Union also, through gross ineptitude, starved an additional 3.5 - 5.0 million people

Do you agree that these things happened?

It's technically not holocaust denial, they got their ethnic cleansing death toll pretty reasonable. Double genocide works by dragging down the Holocaust and dragging up the USSR's deaths, they're only doing the latter. Obviously none of us agree with their take on the USSR's situatuon but I wanna give them a minute to say their piece so we can talk about it

One of my favorite true stories, the libertarian town taken over by bears. chefs-kiss

I can only imagine how "Galt's Gulch" would really go. Well, if it ever got out of the financing phase where each and every "Galt's Gulch" proclaimed by some kiddie creeping grifter involved taking the money and running, leaving the other kiddie creepers high and dry.
