    Habituellement je n’aime pas partager des extraits de politiciens sans contexte, mais ça change tellement des discours habituels que je me sens l’envie de le partager.

    Il avoue lui-même ne pas y toucher, pourtant il reconnait leur importance culturelle, financière, et sociale. C’est pas si difficile manifestement, mais tant d’autres n’en ont pas l’air capables.

    You’re not “owed” a reply. Nobody is ever “owed” a reply. Sometimes people don’t want to engage with a comment and that’s fine. In my case, the reason is not “having no rebuttal”, but rather finding your method of communication repulsive to engage with.

    I have two minutes to waste while my food cooks so I’ll engage briefly.

    First off, the only “childish” interaction here is you calling me a tankie, stupid, childish, instead of just asking questions like a regular adult capable of human to human communications.

    Regarding the 100 million figure: it comes from The Black Book of Communism, a slop book that was written for Maurice Papon’s trial (a nazi war criminal responsible for deporting my family to death camps), who used it as defense to say “sure we killed people but communism was worse”. This book uses ridiculous figures such as nazis killed by the USSR during WW2, soviet soldiers who died fighting nazis, an estimate of children not born due to the one child policy, among many other absurdities, to reach its 100 million tally. It’s still to this day being quoted by politicians and media personalities in my country to support the rapidly rising far right against the regular social democratic left. You don’t have to be a “tankie” (which I’m not despite your assumption) to realize red scares are propaganda and have consequences.

    As for the pareto crime figure… you live in a society in which loitering in the wrong place, jaywalking, stealing 3€ of goods from a supermarket can constitute a crime, but regular white collar crime gets solved in private and doesn’t even go to trial, while most rapes aren’t even reported to the police out of fear. We don’t have accurate crime stats, and drawing conclusions from current crime stats is akin to drawing conclusions about “here’s who the state considers to be undesirables” (poor people end up being over represented for a reason). 80/20, 13/90, and other similar “crime rate figures” have become racist / white supremacist dogwhistles.

    The 100 million figure comes from The Black Book of Communism, which is a commonly parroted red scare propaganda piece. It counts dead WW2 nazis and soviets who died fighting nazis as victims of communism, for starters. Its main point is to “prove” that communism is somehow an order of magnitude worse than fascism, by cherry picking whatever suits their tally. It’s a famous book in my country, and is still being quoted by “centrist” politicians to explain why they support the far right over the left.

    I am not a holodomor denier, if that can help you feel better.
