So being generous we’ll go high and say 10 million
Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin’s regime were 20 million or higher.
or maybe you can “be generous” and go with the figure you quoted.
My issue is the claim that such atrocities don’t happen in democratic institutions.
well, if ML users could read, you would know that OP made no such claims.
Liberalism, however, is fundamentally incompatible with authoritarianism.
an argument easily disproven by pointing to the US for the last few decades.
Uh, IDK about anywhere else, but in the US prisoners are supposed to retain their bodily autonomy even while imprisoned. the actual reality is that that is often ignored by the government, but that’s what the law says, at least.
