Found it linked on SubredditDrama. Here's what they linked: (just to clarify this isn't my write up except for the unquoted parts, I stole expropriated it straight from the SRD post)

Link to full thread. Honestly, there's no real reason to do highlights since the craziest of comments are mostly upvoted, but anyway

"My family is Ukranian and Communism killed over 6 million of us, more than the number of Jews that were killed during the Holocaust." Bonus "why is there no r/askanazi"

(I really wish I could tell this person that the Nazis were at best going to deport 2/3rds of the Ukrainian population to Siberia).

One user thinks it's Chinese influence over Reddit. Also claims fascism died in 1945 with the fall of Nazi Germany and no Fascist state has been allowed to exist since.

"Because our school system does not teach the evils of communism." Galactic sized brain user responds with "It not so subtly promotes it".

"Because Reddit is very very left wing, communism is just as if not more dangerous than facism . . . redditors on average know nothing about history"

"Take a stroll over to r/politics - they serve up a comments section that would make Hitler swell with pride"

(probably the closest thing to a true statement in the thread) :reddit-logo: :reddit-logo: :reddit-logo:

"Stalin killed 7 times more people than Hitler and Mao killed at least 20 times more people than Stalin" Upon being asked for a source, another user replies with "Yeah. Ask for sources. Very obscure fact that you would probably never be able to find. I wonder why we don’t get any of this in our beloved schools and universities?"

I, too, remember when Mao killed the entire population of modern day China, then the entire population of modern day India for good measure.

Upon someone pointing out communism is just an economic ideology, OP claims it's not because communists want to destroy religion and "the family". Says they're still doing it in today in capitalist countries through Cultural Marxism. Goes on to say it promotes "feminism, the LGBT movement, promotion of fornication, promotion of degeneracy in general, etc."

And of course, a lobster claims communism is worse than nazism because communism killed 100 million people.

Bonus: The original poster is a fucking creationist.

Edit: An Indian poster recounts the history of Bri*ish capitalism and its effects on India. Helpful Redditors explain how this isn't real capitalism.

The entire thread is AWFUL. Every comment. I'm sorry for not having screenshots. But this garbage fire needs to be witnessed in person.

    Nah, you know what? I don't hate myself enough to read that thread. Thanks for the write up tho

      Yeah, I've already done plenty of psychic damage for the month looking at reddit for barely a minute a few days ago, I swear people on there have only gotten shittier and more reactionary.

    A younger me used to go in these types of threads debating for hours only to realize redditorism is simply too powerful. Like how do you respond to someone who thinks the US government promotes communism? Where is the common ground with people who believe Stalin killed 7x the population of [insert-country] just because he felt like it?

    It doesn't matter who you cite or how non-aggressive you are, redditorism is simply overpowered.

        Yeah I can definetely relate to the surreal feeling of reading that type of shit. The historical revisionism is wild but what really gets me is the unhinged ramblings that they form into part of their ideology. I remember going through this 4chan thread which was just one long paragraph of a guy "theorizing" that White Women were abandoning white guys for black guys because of their animalistic nature and how their miserable treatment is one more reason that women are just dumb children who need to be under the control of men.

        No citations, no examples, not even basic punctuation but nobody in the thread questioned anything. They just tweaked OP or added their own theories. Glad I stopped browsing that site otherwise I'd have gone insane a long time ago.

      I mean, I wouldn't go near a sub capable of generating this thread. I've found people who are regular /r/neoliberal posters who I can at least have a conversation with and find some common ground with (if you try just talking about how the wealthy have far too much power because of the influence money buys you, you can actually get quite far with a lot of liberals). This is just next level shit though.

      Also who the fuck would post on a sub devoted to capitalism in the first place lol

      Mock them and hope other people reading the comment saw how much better and correct you are than them.

      I laughed at a guy who made a comment saying that people should watch Enemy at the Gates to understand what the Russian front was like and he threw a fit claiming that it was merely a suggestion and he wasn't calling it a historical source. Why suggest it then? Lol

      He didn't change his mind but I just hope that someone else out there didn't fall into the propaganda hole of watching American movies for WWII "history".

    The subreddit drama thread has a few people who you can only find on reddit or in Langley (maybe both) that simultaneously declare they are communists but believe the left wing subs on reddit are all "tankie infested" and "genocide denying" and should be banned.

      Remember being linked a Richard Pipes book on r/anarchism and when I pointed out he's quite possibly the worst source ever on Soviet History (even charitably leaving out his CIA connections ) I was promptly banned for "tankie apologism"

    killed 6 million, more than Jews in the holocaust

    How much you want to bet this guy peddles in Holocaust denial?

  • AHexbearUser [he/him]

    Stalin killed 7 times more people than Hitler and Mao killed at least 20 times more people than Stalin

    So Stalin killed 7 people with his own hands? And Mao strangled 140 landlords to death? Impressive.

      If hitler only killed the 6 million Jews who died in the holocaust, Mao would have had to kill 840 million people. If Mao killed all 100 million people that anti-communists accuse Marxism of killing, Hitler only would have killed 700,000.

      asking them to prove that is proof that they’re right

      Holocaust Denial is when you doggedly insist "Worse Than The Holocaust!" and grow increasingly defensive when anyone asks for details.

      And if it has a state, classes, or money, it's not communism, so the communist death toll of Russia and China is actually 0
