    but there is a certain difference between killing millions of people through displacement, and killing millions of YOUR OWN PEOPLE through idiocy.

    intentional genocide is far, far worse. and every legal system recognizes this. it's literally the difference between manslaughter and murder.

      You're arguing with somebody who's employing the classic fascist "but the communists killed THEIR OWN people, it's less bad to murder people from a racial outgroup" trope. That's literally what they said. They claim to be an anarchist, yet their point hinges on a pure "blood and soil" reasoning, where genocide is just "land accquisition". Absolute Generalplan Ost hours in that post.
