1000 people a day for a year versus almost 2000 a day for fifty years. Ah yeah these things are basically equivalent, I have truly become an enlightened centrist.

In a world that already grows enough food for 10 billion people, 10 million people starve to death every year, a situation that can only exist because the US Empire enforces that injustice with absolutely staggering violence. You literally cannot conceive of how much blood is spilled across every single day of 'peace'. There has never been a more bloodsoaked entity than the United States.
Oh yeah, it's been so long since I argued with liberals I forgot you guys just can't read
Would you consider hundreds of murders (of mainly the majority population of Xinjiang, which is... Uyghurs) in terrorist attacks by extremists of US/Saudi exported Wahabbism to be a crime?
How about being literally part of Al Quaeda and ISIS?
Oh wait that's fine now, see the new Western-installed tyrant of Syria. Did you know he still had a multi-million dollar State Department bounty when he visited the White House?
How about a direct comparison with the tender mercies of the West
And before you complain, the ''''''''''East Turkestan'''''''''' ''''''''''Government in exile'''''''''' thinks it's a perfect analogy... though probably not in the way you imagine
Basically your imperial secret police (the CIA, MI6 etc.) tried to inject Saudi-style extremism into an Islamic culture it was alien to, that culture was defended by the most successful and least violent deradicalization campaign conducted anywhere ever, and when your loser death cult FAILED they switched to whining about it in your imperial propaganda rags. But it's too late idiot! The Uyghurs are safe from you, they have education and jobs and high speed rail. Do you have high speed rail?
Oh yeah, you're from the UK, why don't you tell me about Shamima Begum.
Did you know? Although the BBC in the UK is regulated by Ofcom (for all the good that does), the BBC World Service is not under its jurisdiction and therefore does not answer to any regulatory body at all. There is no one trying to keep them honest even on paper, they are fully allowed to lie as much as they want about anything without being held to account and, as we can see here, they do.
Berlin Wall? Oh, you must mean the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart 
No (and that's a bad thing)
clouded by nostalgia
To be fair, it's only a starter(ek)
On that point about explaining to non-communists, I think a valuable part of this chapter and the last one is showing, not just the details of Soviet government and organization, but even that there is this much detail to be described, compared with the cartoonishly simplistic propaganda image of "authoritarian dictatorship" that is hegemonic in capitalist media. It reveals how paper-thin and ridiculous those descriptions are.
Lo, did King Georgius of the Hedge, second of his name, perforce, in expansion of his realm, commission that this deed be done.
This story sets my blood absolutely boiling every time it comes up. A 15 year old girl was sex trafficked to Syrian extremists, by a people-smuggling ring run by a man later discovered to be a Canadian intelligence asset, was "married" within 10 days of arriving in Syria, had three children before she was 19 all of whom died, and the day after she was discovered alive in a refugee camp and expressed her wish to come home, she was illegally made stateless by the Home Secretary revoking her British passport in the name of """protecting national security""".
And these savages are literally baying for her blood, gleefully pointing out "It's not illegal because she's not stateless, she can go to Bangladesh, oh but they dispute that she's a citizen and they've said if she goes there they'll hang her for terrorism! Hahaha! pLaY sTuPid GaMeS " 
but she still has extremist beliefs and won't condemn ISIS
OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES, SHE'S LIVED IN A TENT IN THE DESERT SINCE SHE WAS 15. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DERADICALIZED?? Oh, some fucking "anonymous source" in the Telegraph says she was "an 'enforcer' in IS's 'morality police'"? That's fucked up, did she like do anything or kill anyone though? No? Of course not.
These same fucking people will then turn around and shed their crocodile tears about oppression in Xinjiang. If she was Chinese she'd have been brought back, put in a deradicalization center for a few months to a year, given teaching on why her extreme beliefs were wrong along with some education and training, and now she'd be working in a garment factory or something, with a long and normal life ahead of her. Instead the compassionate, civilized West has condemned her to a legal black hole, trapped with no future in the desert camp that her children died in, for the crime of being kidnapped as a child by our own spies, to an extremist organization that, as we all know here, is a US project.
The whole thing is a perfect encapsulation of the inherent brutal, savage cruelty and criminality of western regimes and the bootlickers in their population. I try to remind myself that there are good people here who also think this is a travesty, but when I read this thread I can only get a few comments in before I get the urge, like bile rising up my throat, to scream UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD.
the forgiveness they have shown her, will in turn one day be shown to them.
Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang
Video: the most normal city ever filmed
Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks... wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this!
Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel!
Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies 
Laugh! Laugh at the inferiority of the untermenschen-crafted weapon! 
Featuring such golden comment chains as:
One a/c on the assembly line. Look at manufacturing sites for F-35 and F-22. Dozens of aircraft lined up. That’s the difference.
That’s the first thing I noticed. Russian industrial capacity has literally collapsed, I never realized they were this weak. Compare that to their Chinese allies who have been able to produce an impressive number of J20s pretty fast even though the SU57 had its test flight earlier
Too many people stealing money and limiting their capabilities. Good lol*
*not like our trustworthy Raytheons and Northrop-Grummans, of course 
For when you spy that fash-on-fash violence.
