You keep saying it's not as bad as Hitler or mao, but then akwnoledge it has been?

This ignores atrocities that we did do in the time. Like the Alberta eugenics board. Just because the scale of people wasn't the same, doesn't mean it wasn't bad.

When do you think the last residential school closed? This is RECENT times.

It's not a suffering Olympics. It's not about the number of bodies, it's about the attitude of those who stood by and benefited from the system.

And just because the starlight tours are illegal, can you find one example of an officer who was prosecuted for it? Because if there's no punishment is it really illegal?

To sya they're incomparable is to ignore the people who are suffering, telling you it is.

I'm not sure what your point is. The argument is about whether there is a false equivalence between communism and fascism. You are veering way off topic into something I doubt you and I even disagree about. Yes, genocide is bad. Yes, authoritarianism is bad.
