Fine graphic and ratio; I just have reservations about the statistics.
Nazism: 6 million Jews alone, then add in all other millions of other classes of people who died because of the Nazi ideology, and 7 million seems way off. Isaac Asimov in 1979 estimated that between 18 million and 26 million civilians and prisoners were kiilled in Nazi camps. That doesn’t even take into account all the military personnel on both sides killed because of what the Nazis tried to do.
Socialism: in Russia, China, Vietnam, Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Africa, and everywhere else it’s been implemented — up to and including the U.K. — it has killed far more than 100 million people. Think of those denied food, health care, and so on. Billions is more in the ballpark. If you choose to specify communism rather than socialism, deduct a few. But “collectivism” covers both in the “movement” mentioned in the graphic. Collectivism is globally, obviously lethal.
You’re correct. 11 million were killed in the death camps, where all they did was kill people. Millions more died in the work camps. The Nazis actually did a study to determine the optimum rate of starvation in the work camps to get the most economic benefit. The conclusion was that they wanted the “workers” to starve to death, on average, in 11 months.
… And my problem with the Left is, if both sides agree that all this was heinous,
and agree that it was done by humans,
(– meaning human nature is actually capable of such atrocities –)
and if both sides agree that such things are still to this day going on in the world
(– human trafficking, genital mutilation, enslavement, murder, and the list goes on) . . .
Why is the Left so dead-set determined to take down and destroy the United States, the least guilty and the least culpable country, when it comes to these crimes?
Left and right in this country agree that these outrages are still going on in the world.
So why target the one country that stands alone in declaring that it abhors them, and has created a written constitution that explicity forbids them?
The only answer I can come to is that there must be some other reason the Left wants to destroy this country, and by logic the only reason for that is not a pleasant one to contemplate.
The Left not only opposes morality; it actively countervenes its preservation, and its efforts.
That is my problem with the Left.

Disgusting.
