Why is it that in world history texts there are whole textbooks on the holocaust (the systematic extermination of 12 million innocent souls) and the idea of national socialism is so beaten and battered into the minds of the people of the west, but the Marxist governments that led to the death of ~100,000,000 people get a free pass when talking about communist ideas. USSR, China, DPRK, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc... have all been found to murder so many, but the ideas of communism get a pass in media and in academia. Why is this? And I'm legitimately asking for myself, I am only basing this off of arguments with professors, teachers, and people in my life that consider themselves socialists & look at communism as the perfect system.
It's just the times. Back in the 50's, 60's and 70"s everyone was down on communism.
