And now we have whataboutism! See, reader, the difference between a liberal and an authoritarian is that the liberal admits to and tries to learn from the failures of liberal democracy, such as the deplorable concentration camps used by Roosevelt to wrongfully imprison Japanese Americans during WW2. While a communist will deny or minimize or deflect from the gulags, the secret police, the rape of Poland, the genocide of Ukraine, the pogroms against Jews, the deaths of the forced relocations and resettlements of people, the suppression of native cultures in favor of imperial Russian and Soviet culture and official history, and a thousand other atrocities large and small.
