What banner? Are you under the impression that communism is some kind of monolith? If you’re referring to the soviet union say that, or China, or whoever else you’re specifically accusing of mass murder. The term communism refers to hundreds of different political ideologies and many different countries. Many of whom have next to nothing to do with each other.
And all the communists in this thread arguing with you hate the regimes that have killed millions (including the ones that have embraced the term “communist” like the CCP and Stalin’s USSR) as much as you do.
I mean, if you were to add up all the deaths that have happened under capitalism - the wars started by capitalist nations, colonialism, people who have died because they couldn’t afford healthcare, people killed in disasters caused by unregulated corporations and so on - would the numbers look any better?
No but many of the lemmy.ml founders embrace communism without evening considering how many people have been killed under that banner.
When I first heard about the communism I assumed that the were just far left socialists. It turns out they straight up worship communist leader

And almost all of them have killed millions
I’m going to sound like a broken record but can you specify who you are talking about?
Anti west propaganda
How is asking you to be specific with your arguments “anti west propaganda”?
I’m mostly referring to the moderation of lemmy.ml only promoting pro communist ideas. They actively remove all noncommunist content

Its kind of funny
Over 26 million people from ex Soviet states were killed in world war 2 fighting facism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties_of_the_Soviet_Union
Exactly my point

More have died, and still do, every day, under Capitalism.
