Just discovered that admins are removing resource-content on the subreddit. Both the DPRK and China megathreads that are in the sidebar have been removed, probably others too.

I doubt this is unique to only /r/communism, /r/communism101 is probably going to be hit as well.

      Loads for me

      Weird, it gives me "Something Went Wrong" and asks me to submit a bug.

      Anyway, a common complaint from a liberal is going to be that “the Soviets released very ill and dying prisoners in order to keep death count relatively low”. What say you?

      All prisons do that. Prisons are for people that are a danger to others in society not for the terminally ill or dying. The idea that the Soviets were engaging in a method of falsifying their own private and internal documentation for their own archives because some libs might read those archives after the ussr is gone is a bit bizarre though. Why would they do that? It's data for them and you don't operate a state's internal data gathering that nobody will ever see on the basis that you expect your state to eventually end in a coup by traitors.

          I don't think libs have that level of knowledge or comprehension to even begin to make such arguments. The people that do are either baby-leftists already that are still deprogramming or knowledgeable and deeply ideological capitalists who are a waste of time engaging with as it's all bad faith.

              Did I do a bad? I didn't intend to insult you, if I did by accident I'm genuinely sorry.

                  I mean, your prompt is possible but completely impossible for us to verify in any meaningful way as far as I know so it just kinda becomes a "well do we have evidence?" situation. Since we don't have evidence for that occurring it seems silly for anyone to hang their hat on it being a reason not to believe any of it.
