Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Idiotic @iMattyz also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful snow elf, to top staff member to President of the Magic Team (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!

Preface: Don't think I'm really a communist, and I am certainly not a tankie who would defend the actions of Stalin, Mao, Castro, Assad, Kim Jong-un (those last 2 are wild but go to /r/fullcomunism sometime smh)
But this argument isn't very convincing. Someone who would defend these deaths were a necessary step towards a better future. Or, they would say that they were caused by external factors, rather than communism. Or, and I would probably use this argument, these weren't issues necessarily with communism, rather the way those regimes implemented them i.e. Marxism-Leninism and the vanguard party, or dictatorship of the proletariat or w.e. the ****.
And especially hypocritical is when you look at the death and destruction that capitalism has caused (imperialism, slavery, colonialism, globalism, etc), it becomes more difficult to judge communism through this lens. Nearly every ideology legitimizes violence, whether it's to criminals, wrong-thinkers, bourgeois, tyrants, etc. So if you want to argue against a tankie, you'd have to argue why Stalin's violence was illegitimate, and why -whatever ideology you support- is legitimate.

Does the community have no say? Especially when it is as large of an outcry of this?
