Putting communism and nazis on the same level is really telling. Big yikes, bud

Especially when literal Nazis are the one committing these crimes. Like, literally self declared white supremacists…

While likely, we don't know that for sure for this specific case because the suspects are still at large.

I'm guessing that Red Ink is hesitant to call the Police due to their political views but it could potentially help in tracking down whoever did this

Edit / apparently they called the police. I hope whoever did this gets caught

It's the Nationalist Social Club, a neo Nazi group that operates heavily out of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Their goons have been spreading recruitment flyers and doing stupid shit all over New England over the last year. Providence has had issues as of late with their flyers posted all over the place and they were the ones that formed a mob at Red Ink last year.

Where's the proof that they did this? Communists are almost universally hated, anyone with sense could have done this.

I think nazis are worse but it's a fact that Stalin criminalized homosexuality and sentenced gay men to 5 years hard labor.

Zedong was in the mid-twentieth century, and communism has killed no less than 5x the number of people as Nasis/Fascism. Do some reading for yourself and learn which ideology has produced the higher body count.

A name you'll undoubtedly drop to defend a false correlation between economic systems and likelihood to commit crimes against humanity.

Care to tell me how many people capitalism has killed?

If only there was this thing that had the entirety of human knowledge and history, but I guess you don’t really give a shit about loss of life.

Google is not going to give you that answer, Because outside of the theater of war, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, shit, even our own Civil War, taking the lives of "the enemy", there has never been an American leader, under whose sole authority, that has wilfully/purposely allowed/caused, as many as a 100 million of their own citizens to perish or outright slaughter them(Stalin, Kim, Zedong...).

You should learn the difference between type of governments and types of economic policies. Because you seem to be treating them as the same thing… they’re not. Communism isn’t a form of government, it is a type of economic policy.

Capitalism: economic policy. Democratic Republic: form of government.

So then you should no trouble finding out how many deaths capitalism has caused.

I wouldn't say no trouble... I would have to search the breadth of the Internet for many, many smaller examples. Good place to start would probablythe market crash preceding the great depression. And I will amend my comments regarding Russia and the deaths of those citizens, since under Stalin's watch a lot of those deaths were the results of his insanity and his struggle to keep power rather than failure of economic policy.
