    First of all, whataboutism is just a way to create a double moral standard and anybody calling whataboutism exposes themselves as being intellectually bankrupt. The context is you claiming that communist system is responsible for the problems USSR had. That’s obvious nonsense given that exact same problems and worse exist under capitalism. Last I checked a bunch of US states have sodomy laws today.

    Second, Israel is an example capitalist shithole with a predominantly Jewish population, so can’t blame the genocide there on communism and the soviets.

    Third, the west has killed far more people of all kinds than Russia did. Yet, you ally with the west and see it as a friend. So, clearly you don’t give a shit about people being killed, turns out that you’re just a racist who hates Russians. You’ll happily dig up an ancient document from Stalin while ignoring the fact that your trusted allies are doing the exact thing you’re decrying happening in USSR. Way to show utter lack of intellectual integrity here.

    You’ve also wandered very far from the original point here which was that the communist system objectively resulted in better conditions for majority of the people than the capitalist hell that followed it. You completely ignored that and went on completely vapid rant that has nothing to do with the point I was making.
