I just checked, it seems that this is not satire… 🤦
Gotta love that 1771 communism.
gotta love that anti-Communists don’t even understand how old Communism is.
I know it’s a tweet, and it’s hella difficult to provide sources via twitter, but gods I’d love for them to explain how deaths before 1917 can be attributed to ‘Communism’. I can see deaths related to far-left activism being included, and they probably included the Paris Commune… but what could they have included other than that? Unless, of course, they’re just following the black book of communism’s lead and just making up numbers to feel good about ignoring suffering in the world.
I’ve seen someone claim the deaths suffered by the south during America’s civil war should be added to the “communism death toll”, because the North had Marxist generals and soldiers. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if this person’s claiming that too.
Total numbers of humans who have ever lived is 100 B, lol. So thats 8% of everyone who’s ever lived.
