If you knew anything about Soviet Union, you'd know that number is correct. During 50s, SU started Project Red Loop, in which people were given immortality serum and repeatably killed in various ways, to test it's military potential. Some test subjects were killed over 50k times.

fuck everything else, this guy's spittin. soviets defeated death but used it to do more murder.

youre-laughing you're laughing? The Soviet Union killed between 1 and 1,000,000,000 people, and you're laughing??

No matter how outlandish the Black Book death count is, its always way less than even a conservative estimate of deaths caused by capitalism. The British Empire alone tops these numbers

500% margin of error, pretty standard

So casualties from several wars as a minimum, plus another 98 million "mystery deaths".

My guess is every surplus death in a third world country where the Soviet Union supported a revolution.

Add in the people murdered by anticommunist military dictatorships, because why not?

They wouldnt have to be anticomnunists if communists didnt exist!

I mean all of the stuff in general is how you get these numbers. The actual Black Book counting includes the unborn children of killed nazis in it's kill count

You know, now that I look at this you don't even need an upper bound.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Actually it’s between 150 million and 300 million deaths.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
