I was debating with a lib who argued that Lenin was a murderer and kept talking about how 200,000 people died in the Red Terror. I responded by saying you could say the same thing about the founding fathers, after all, all those civilians wouldn't have died if some rich landowners just payed their taxes.

Anyway, how do you guys respond to liberals when they shit their pants about stuff like this?

    The advanced lib response to this is to say “that is neither here nor there” or “whataboutism.”

      whataboutism as if you can criticise any system in a way other than in comparison. When liberals criticise communism they implicitly are saying capitalism is better
