    That’s just a flat lie. Communists have never championed Democracy and human rights. PRC, North Korea, Vietnam, the Soviet Union, none promoting either democracy or human rights in practice. What possible state falls into your arguments here, I struggle to think of a single one.

    I mean Cambodia under Pol Pot!? Human rights, what a joke.

      There was never one Communism, but many different ones.
      Communism in Italy, for example, was only slightly related to the experience in the CCCP.

      Who stopped Pol Pot?

      For that matter, who colonized Cambodia and Vietnam?

      Where are the memorials for the victims of French imperialism?

          The question at hand is “why are these French fascists pointing morons at communism when they’re trying to bring back empire” and the answer is “because dumbasses like you buy it and talk about whattaboutism when people point out their hypocrisy.”

          Might want to read that btw. You might find the “Defense” section interesting if you’re actually interested in honest rhetoric.
