>>7754514>Atomic bombings in Japan? Vietnam War? Native American genocide? Invasion of Iraq? Coups d'etat in Chile, Cuba, Panamá, Guatemala, Bolivia...?And the bodycount in all that still doesn't come anywhere even vaguely close to everything the Nazis got up to... much less the Soviets...
Fact is, the cold war might be over on paper, but the west still (rightly) point the finger at communist nations such as the former Soviet Union and China for being the bad guys, and the former Soviets and China likewise point the finger back at the west.
That both sides do this is actually for much the same reason, it's a classical political deflection tactic, designed to draw the publics attention away from whatever crap the politicians (and their friends) are getting up to, be it serious corporate/financial/political corruption in the west, or the mass abuse/torture/genocide of native, or immigrant/foreign, population groups in the east.
> If it is true that communism killed millions of people, how is it that the population of the USSR has not stopped growing since its establishment?Perhaps folks in the former USSR had more babies; the USSR also didn't break up the traditional family unit with the kinds of flawed deeply corrupt extreme socialist ideals that were actively implemented/are actively promoted in western society that were purely designed to keep certain population groups oppressed and under political control.
Maybe also because unlike in 'westernized' society, where population growth among the native population per nation has generally been in decline for some years, some other countries/regions around the world are instead experiencing massive population growth for a variety of reasons, some good, some not so much.
See the continent of Asia as an example, where the population across Asia is generally seeing increasing growth in record numbers, but at the same time countries like Japan have been experiencing the opposite.
