A message from r/theitalyplace

[u/HartemLijn]

Dear r/EmpireDidNothingWrong, I want to apologize on behalf of all r/italy and r/theitalyplace for trying to attack your subreddit's creation and I swear we will immediately stop our expansion and let your symbol alone if you all will help us to contrast and repel the attack that right now we are experiencing from the communists near our flag. If you will be willing to help us, we will help rebuild and recreate the symbol that we damaged. Peace?

Communists aren't monsters m8. Communists care about the proletariat, capitalists do not.

Tell that to the Black Book of Communism, which had them slaughtering well over a hundred million people, or Holodomor, the very much deliberate forced starvations of several Ukrainians under Lenin, or Stalin's purges (something which even Khrushchev had to admit was true, and he's no saint either), or Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution which eclipsed Hitler AND Stalin's death tolls combined, or how Che Guevara turned Cuba from one of the biggest economies in Central America into a Soviet nightmare complete with Gulag-style death camps. Or how about the Vietcong frequently cutting kids hands off just to force their parents to skip voting, or even the Khmer Rouge's slaughter of Cambodia after taking it over. I can't believe you would say they aren't monsters with a straight face. And what's more, those quotes from Marx more than made clear that when he came up with the idea, he specifically wanted mass death to occur, even stating they are obliged to not only re-enact Robespierre's Reign of Terror, but actually make it even bloodier than that time. Sartre even advocated for something similar when he claimed that the French Revolutionaries, if anything, didn't kill ENOUGH people during the Reign of Terror. And I noticed the Communists frequently KILLED their own proletariat they claimed to care about, from Lenin all the way to Castro. I'm not kidding, read this. In fact, read this entire Facebook page here.

My view of Communism won't change, and Lucas admitting the Rebels were communists is precisely the reason I joined the Empire.

using the black book of communism as a source

Kk m8, Imma not even bother. That book is widely known as absolute bullshit, even by non communists.
