… and it wasn’t nearly enough. Approximately 4 million nazi prisoners were released after decades of hard labour. They should have been buried instead. Non-negotiable.

Very much agree. We’ve come a long way as human beings just in the past 100 years or so. Our self-awareness as a collective species is really just beginning. With all the flaws contemporary tech and society, the one amazing advancement is that we are much more socially connected on a global level. It is much much harder to dehumanize entire populations and categories of people. I sincerely believe that people do have a lot more empathy for each other than in the past.
It’s one thing if we’re just lol’ing over memes, but some communists in their defense of past socialist projects sincerely border on romanticizing the brutality that occured in the 20th century… It’s not a great look. We gotta remember that the past is littered with mistakes and we can absolutely aim for better.
