The US is included in my list too with the Native American genocide for what its worth lol. But people tend to forget that Soviet Russia and Communist China killed millions of their own people. They should not be praised or imitated. We should learn from the horrible mistakes of the past.
By millions murdered, you don’t mean people who died in the last famine in China after centuries of famines, and you don’t mean the last famine in the region that became the USSR after centuries of famines, right? Famines that happened during or soon after the bloody revolutions overthrowing the tsars and emperors, under which the previous famines occurred?
I mean in the boxer revolution and the millions that died in gulags in USSR because of famine and the government selecting people at random to starve to death in labor camps.
Lemme just unload very blurry memories of junior high school class and add numbers with "millions", that sounds like enough work to not give 1 minute of my time to actually know anything about the USSR or China
Why don't you read up on the USSR and read peoples actual experiences with it. Yeah there weren't millions in the boxer revolution, but tbh the forced abortion 2 kid thing probably puts them into millions category
