Communism: Where you always seem to be just one execution away from utopia.

There were no mass killings. Each of the 10s of million of murder victims, either executed or starved, was personally selected.

There are still way too many "activists" who love them some Marx and
remain in denial over all the horrors perpetrated by their leftist gods. Unfortunately, they're all over academia and the media where they
continue to infect the young with their delusions.

Whataboutism noted. Get back to us when you have a real argument to make.

There were no mass killings. Each of the 10s of million of murder victims, either executed or starved, was personally selected.

There were definitely *some* cases of individually selected victims,
like Stalin's enemies among the Old Bolsheviks (which was nearly all of
the people who'd been in the Party before Lenin's coup), the senior
officers of the Red Army, and quite a few members of Stalin's family who
knew too much about him, like his in-laws and their extended families.
However, the vast majority of deaths, whether by execution or
starvation, came about via quotas. Stalin would send a telegram off to
the secret police headquarters in Upper Buttfuckski and tell them to
round up 20,000 or 30,000 people by the end of the month or else. The
people arrested didn't need to be guilty of anything: a simple
accusation by a neighbour who disliked them was enough. Then they were
tortured to reveal more names of people who were "plotting against the
state" and eventually the tortured people just gave names, any names, to
make the torture stop. Court proceedings were an utter joke and never
lasted more than a few minutes except in the case of a few show trials.
Then the hapless prisoner was either shot or sent off to one of the many
camps. Many prisoners starved, froze to death or were worked to death.
The rest were condemned to living east of the Urals for the rest of
their lives if they survived their sentences, which by the late 1940s
was almost always 25 years.

It has been said that not a single family in the Soviet Union was
untouched by the Great Purge.

How odd, then, that you celebrate a 19--min. exposé of just Wikipedia...

The problem is that:

- Wikipedia can easily be edited by anyone, with zero actual
fact checking by anyone in authority. (Same with IMDB.)

- AI is utterly useless crap that makes LOTS and LOTS of mistakes.

Neither can ever be trusted as a reliable source of useful information.

But I'm hard pressed to think of *any* absolutely reliable source of information. And, of the usually cited purveyors, Wikipedia stands out
as making no bones about its open-season provenance. (Personally, I've
found it to be a worthy starting point, especially for obscure topics.)
