Because there really isn’t one. My favorite example is the Cold War. Name something bad the Soviets did during this time frame, and I can easily name some US-backed right-wing genocide that was 10x worse and was happening in the same year.
But for some reason, ML states are seen as inherently bad, and you’re an inherently bad person for liking them, but we don’t use that same logic with America.
The best they have against the USSR is famine, which regularly happened in Russia for hundreds of years, and STOPPED during the years of the USSR. And then to take it one step further the USSR overtook the US in caloric consumption and dietary health
People will tell you communism brings poverty and famine meanwhile after decades of global capitalism 2/3rds of the world lives in poverty and we're told world hunger is just something that happens. The System That Works™
I always brought this up even before I thought of myself as an ML and for almost ten years I’ve not yet heard a valid response to it
