Found it linked on SubredditDrama. Here’s what they linked: (just to clarify this isn’t my write up except for the unquoted parts, I stole expropriated it straight from the SRD post)

Link to full thread. Honestly, there’s no real reason to do highlights since the craziest of comments are mostly upvoted, but anyway

“My family is Ukranian and Communism killed over 6 million of us, more than the number of Jews that were killed during the Holocaust.” Bonus “why is there no r/askanazi”

(I really wish I could tell this person that the Nazis were at best going to deport 2/3rds of the Ukrainian population to Siberia).

One user thinks it’s Chinese influence over Reddit. Also claims fascism died in 1945 with the fall of Nazi Germany and no Fascist state has been allowed to exist since.

“Because our school system does not teach the evils of communism.” Galactic sized brain user responds with “It not so subtly promotes it”.

“Because Reddit is very very left wing, communism is just as if not more dangerous than facism . . . redditors on average know nothing about history”

“Take a stroll over to r/politics - they serve up a comments section that would make Hitler swell with pride”

(probably the closest thing to a true statement in the thread) :reddit-logo: :reddit-logo: :reddit-logo:

“Stalin killed 7 times more people than Hitler and Mao killed at least 20 times more people than Stalin” Upon being asked for a source, another user replies with “Yeah. Ask for sources. Very obscure fact that you would probably never be able to find. I wonder why we don’t get any of this in our beloved schools and universities?”

I, too, remember when Mao killed the entire population of modern day China, then the entire population of modern day India for good measure.

Upon someone pointing out communism is just an economic ideology, OP claims it’s not because communists want to destroy religion and “the family”. Says they’re still doing it in today in capitalist countries through Cultural Marxism. Goes on to say it promotes “feminism, the LGBT movement, promotion of fornication, promotion of degeneracy in general, etc.”

And of course, a lobster claims communism is worse than nazism because communism killed 100 million people.

Bonus: The original poster is a fucking creationist.

Edit: An Indian poster recounts the history of Bri*ish capitalism and its effects on India. Helpful Redditors explain how this isn’t real capitalism.

The entire thread is AWFUL. Every comment. I’m sorry for not having screenshots. But this garbage fire needs to be witnessed in person.

    Stalin killed 7 times more people than Hitler and Mao killed at least 20 times more people than Stalin

    So Stalin killed 7 people with his own hands? And Mao strangled 140 landlords to death? Impressive.

      If hitler only killed the 6 million Jews who died in the holocaust, Mao would have had to kill 840 million people. If Mao killed all 100 million people that anti-communists accuse Marxism of killing, Hitler only would have killed 700,000.
