say what you want but i think it's pretty cool that they made a "victims of communism" museum. it's a building where you walk through a main door to get in and learn about people who were victimized by at least ostensibly communist regimes. it's great because the main door works both ways: if you're already inside, you can walk through the same door and step into the "victims of capitalism" museum.

They also count abortions in communist countries to pump up that “100 million” claim.

Who woulda thought that two polar opposites would hate each other? I'm shocked! /s

The Black Book of Communism is famous for counting Nazi deaths as "victims" as well.

and aborted fetuses, "non-births" from falling birth rates, people killed by the nazis in the invasion of the USSR...

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

Definitely, entire articles have been written about the nunerous problems with the Black Book.

There's a communism museum in prague that i wanted to go see, since they actually experienced "communism" i think it would be pretty good. didnt get the chance when i last went though.

I can't imagine that the VOC Museum in Washington would be as objective though.

I would imagine the communist museum in prague is something that the post-communist governing party had put up. Not saying it's bad per se but it's probably biased as well.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

It's super biased. Taken without context it have some nice items but the context is "communism bad"

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 0 points 4 months ago

So the people who have lived through communism think it's bad?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago

No, the capitalist system which destroyed the socialism is legitimising itself.

No in 1991 there was a referendum in the USSR on whether to dissolve the workers state, some 75% voted against such a dissolution. They went ahead and did it anyway. Granted no such referendum was held in czechoslovakia, the fact that the public was not consulted before dissolving their nation speaks as to what say the public had in said dissolution.
