What the fuck is this disgusting tankie denialism, commies killed 300,000,000 and I will not stand for this historical revisionism. Those 400,000,000 people will not be erased.

    It keeps going up because they count all the "unborn children" that would have descended from the Nazis killed by communism (and then their children, grandchildren, etc.). The further away we get from the actual deaths, the more quickly the number will go up, because it's counting larger and larger counterfactual future generations.

    for real i'm sure some of these made up numbers include children that would have been born if it wasn't for women in socialist countries having better reproductive rights

    I get that it's just a dumb talking point with no substance to begin with, but this whole idea of attributing a body count to an ideology falls apart when you think about it for more than about eight seconds. if you want to attribute them to a person (say, reagan) or policies (say, one child) those are at least more or less things you can cite ranges for based on policies enacted.

    i feel like at this point they count every death of any person whose life any government institution was even slightly involved in, like a 95 year old amerikkkan dying of being too dang old, but they were on medicare (evil communist death panels) and social security (welfare handout that incentivizes dependency on the state) therefore communism did it since socialism-is-when

    The miscount is because after taking the Juche specialty we have Advanced Necromancy and can raise double skeletons from each victim

    Who would win:

    • a team of dedicated researchers with advanced degrees and tons of NGO money dedicating years of effort to find increasingly detached, absurd ways of adding new "death" tallies.
    • dipshit twitter conservatives playing telephone with themselves.

    I can't tell if the Black Book authors would be incredibly proud of their effectiveness or incredibly embarrassed of their lack of effectiveness relative to the rubes.
