Thanks to the Baron for sending me this first part of a 12 part series on Stalin and his astonishing legacy of mass murder, equalled only by Muslims and the attempted genocide of the Hindu peoples of India. I will try and find a play list so they all will play consecutively as a documentary later. In the meantime here is part I and the rest are available on youtube now as well.
Stalin killed only slightly more than half as many people as Mao, so his bloody history is not even close to being “equalled [sic] only by Muslims and the attempted [sic] genocide of the Hindu peoples [sic] of India.”
Mao’s genocide was 70 million people. The Indian (not Hindu) Holocaust killed 80 million. Stalin killed around 40-45 million.
Also, Mohammedans in India killed almost as many Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and other people and as they did Hindus. Fewer people died in the Hindu Holocaust than under either or Mao or Stalin, and far fewer just in India. Much of the Hindu Holocaust took place in Afghanistan, hence the place name “the Hindu Kush.”
Also, whether or not you completely eradicate a people from the earth, any time you kill a group because of their ethnicity it’s genocide. Killing 40 million people (roughly the number killed in the Hindu Holocaust in India) is more than a mere ‘attempt’ at genocide; it’s an enormous genocide.
I don’t think I’ve ever found so much ahistorical nonsense in one sentence coming from anyone who wasn’t a Mohammedan. Being that flippant and reckless when discussing millions of genocide victims is pretty damn offensive, as far as I’m concerned.
I have about had it with you at this point. You are rude and usually unnecessarily and always preemptively. You attack me quite often recently and my posts. If you don’t like them, fine. Please go read someplace else. Thank you.
At least tag it with ‘historical relativism’ or with a new ‘numerical relativism’ tag.
But you’re right. What difference do a few dozen million dead people make?
And for the record, I never attacked you personally. You are not what you write. There’s a world of difference. It is always fair to take people to task for what they do and say. It makes us better people in the end. It’s also how education has always been carried throughout modern history. Also, I’m not sure how fair it is to label accuracy or ethics (not here, but regarding your ‘give terrorists free reign’ statement on the slave rag ban) as ‘rudeness.’ I’m more inclined to consider your de facto classification of Chinese people as non-humans to be ‘rude,’ but that’s just me.
