Is it just me or is this phrasing, with its emphasis on "their own people," only ever leveled against communist states? I never hear it used to refer to, say, the killing of black Americans via slavery or the massacre of German Jews.

    bourgeois critiques of communism target the idea that communism is a politics for the masses. capitalism is not itself vulnerable to this same rhetoric because it doesn't care about the masses.
