Please don't start ideological flamewars on HN. They're repetitive, and they always turn nasty.

The wretched descent into offtopic hell that we got in this case is an example of what we're trying to avoid.

I guess `import fascism` would be still fine

I did find this funny, and then I thought "Would I still find this funny if it was `import capitalism`?

Be careful with fundamental framework imports, some of them may fetch `armed_conflict` as a dependency. It is known for numerous undefined behaviors, which may corrupt your logic (fragile base class problem) and make it non-functional.

mhmm, sure.

In Poland they send off around 1.5 million people to Siberia or Kazachstan. Around 150 000 of them died.

Or you know, better example - Holodomor. Systematic killing of Ukrainian nation.

Communists hate capitalists and the wealthy. Communism is inherently selfish, since it is about taking from others for oneself (and sharing with fellow selfish individuals who collectively enable the taking from others). Communism is built, not on compassion for the working class, but on resentment of the rich elite.

If communism wasn't hateful and selfish, then it would look a lot more like christianity: freedom + sacrificial charitable giving.

Tell that to those nations which lost large percentage of their population to communist terror.

Marx was extremely pro-violence, and would call you a utopian.

Free speech protects you from the state, not from private companies. You can declare yourself to be anything you'd like, but you may suffer the consequences.
