Please read upon actual history before pretending to know any of it.

Could you give me a recommendation on history books that go over the slaughter of minorities in Cuba, Vietnam, and Korea then? Since you know so much about it.

Oh, that is what I thought. Have you considered actually talking to Cubans, either people who live there or cuban immigrants who arent aggrieved about their grandpa's plantation?

Communism without unchecked violence, aggression and ethnic cleansing isn’t communism.

Fuck I gotta tell my local commune that they aren't really communist

Also loving the token Whataboutism™

Fallacy fallacy. If we are judging ideologies on how many atrocities they commit, you have to judge them against other ideologies.

even though liberalism is the only ideology that has the capability to support a non-violent society

Lol 20 million people die a year of starvation or lack of clean water under liberal hegemony.

The archetypal liberal state shoots thousands of black men a year, and creates conditions that mean 40 percent of homeless youth are lgbt. It has the largest prison system in history, and has killed millions of civilians in wars of aggression over the last 20 years. You're projecting the crimes of capitalism onto communism, consider criticizing communism for what it actually did wrong.
