What they refuse to accept is that genocide/mass murder is written in to the very fibre of fascism in away it is not in communism. There have been many instances of mass murder and genocide that cannot be ascribed to either fascism or communism, the root causes of such atrocities are varied and beyond the scope of this thread, but fascism always contains something that communism, of itself, as a political doctrine, does not, and that is....

Eliminationism is the belief that one's political opponents are "a cancer on the body politic that must be excised—either by separation from the public at large, through censorship or by outright extermination—in order to protect the purity of the nation".

Eliminationism is not unique to fascism, the Armenian genocide and the Rwanda genocide were not fascist endeavours but wherever fascism rears its head the threat of eliminationism exists.

If genocide is integral to communism, why then did it not continue in the Soviet Union after Stalin's death?

Funny thing genocide, one you have wiped out the generation successfully (which Russia did rather well) you can then focus on just making any noisy or troublesome citizens disappear. Much like China and Korea continue to do ....

Don't forget that in enforcing the communist doctrine, Russia murdered anyone who had anything of value, be that material or intellectual. You seem to be aiming that the horrific death toll of communism in Russia was Stalin doing, I would argue that be it Carl marx or Lenin or Stalin or any other person leading the communist route, the same destination would have been reached.

To be honest, your argument is so ridiculous that I think you are trolling. I refuse to believe any sane or intelligent person would even begin to justify communism and it's horrors

That's the stupid person manoeuvre, hiding behind moral indignation because their head is filled with straw.

Any different to the:
"I am too important and learned to discuss this with you plebs so I am going to throw my knickers at you all and flounce off to the football forum in protest"

Stunt you pulled earlier?

No,

The world is reacting to the death of traditional media and the rise of the individual (internet) soap box.

No longer is opinion given by heady tomes in important newspapers by men of laws and learning.

Opinion is now personal and unfiltered. Much like Twitter. But it's mostly noise which is being amplified by the dying media. In moments of reflection and seriousness, most people will act rationally.

Completely agree about the role of social media in modern day politics.

Without it I would have had no idea I was a right wing nazi.
