Right Wing Governments, In General, Are Less Moral Than Left Wing Governments

I'm a bit short on time, so my responses might be a little shorter than usual, but here goes.1) Such issues including slavery, which is found in many countries, regardless of their alignment. Seeing as slavery has existed for thousands of years, and the first left wing government was founded roughly 97 years ago, I think its generally safe to say that right wing governments, such as fascist dictatorships and monarchies, have been keeping slaves for longer. And even if you don't look at the length of time these countries had slaves, slavery was still more widespread in these countries, and also more widely accepted. For example, in the United States, slavery existed in the entire nation at one point, and in much of it at other points. During this time, it was viewed as very acceptable, and some people were taught to believe that it would be immoral to help escaped slaves reach freedom in Canada.2) The USSR, a major Communist/Socialist nation, was responsible for more war deaths in WWII than every Axis power together. Consisting of 10,000,000 soldiers killed through the use of inhumane war strategies, such as moving men over mine fields to clear paths for tanks. This point is a bit confusing to me. The source you provided showed the total of how many Soviet soldiers died, not how they were killed. Are you trying to say the Soviets killed 10 million of their own soldiers on purpose? That would mean that exactly zero soldiers were killed by the enemy. The fact that the Soviets had the highest causualties hardly makes them less moral, if anything it shows how much they did to bring about the end of the war. In fact, many believe that if it wasn't for the Soviet effort at the Battle of Stalingrad, the war could have ended much differently. I will concede, however, that Joseph Stalin was a lunatic, and it doesn't surprise me much that he planned on killing even more people. While I feel he fails to represent anything resembling a socialist or communist, I suppose his government was at least left wing in name.3) The Soviets are responsible for some of the most immoral practices in human history.The link you provided for this goes against your point. Allow me to take two quotes from your source: "The total number of noncombatants killed by the Germans—about 11 million—is roughly what we had thought. The total number of civilians killed by the Soviets, however, is considerably less than we had believed. We know now that the Germans killed more people than the Soviets did." "It turns out that, with the exception of the war years, a very large majority of people who entered the Gulag left alive." This could say one of a few things about your source. One is that your source is legitimately telling the truth, in which case I myself am honestly surprised, having always heard that Stalin killed more people. A second is that your source is incorrect, meaning it shouldn't be used. Either way, it shows you might not have read it carefully. There is also a third possibility, that I am misunderstanding what it says.4) North Korea, also a far-leftist government, is among the worst and most immoral nations in history. I have to concede this point, North Korea is truly a terrible place. This however goes back to the question of whether they are truly left wing, but for the purpose of this debate, they are. However, the debate is about left wing governments in general, not specific ones.5) While many would consider Stalin's strategy of moving men over mine fields more moral than Hitler's gas camps, many would find Stalin's strategy more immoral. The eye of the beholder determines this. While Pro argues morality from a Leftist perspective, someone on the Right would view it from a Rightist perspective.I honestly doubt anyone would believe that killing soldiers, regardless of what side they were on, is worse than rounding up innocent men, women, and children, and killing them in gas chambers. Assuming that Stalin did use that strategy, which seems a bit questionable. Do you have a source for that I could see? As for the eye of the beholder, in many of the cases that are being discussed here, that doesn't apply. I would hope that most people would view slavery, genocide, and segregation as immoral, at least in 21st century America. As far as these atrocities are concerned, there isn't really a left or right wing perspective, unless either believes this is okay.6) Claiming Right-Winged Governments are more immoral because they have slavery makes the assumption that Slavery is a Right-Winged issue. Many would assume Communism is also forged on the backs are slaves, whom we pretend are called citizens. I will point out, there has never been a truly Communist nation, nor have any nations claimed to be Communist. Communism is a form of government that takes time to achieve, it doesn't happen all at once. After a Capitalist society dissolves (by the way, it can be argued that unregulated Capitalism leads to slavery), a Socialist one takes its place. All left wing nations have claimed to be Socialist, meaning that they believed they were on the road to Communism. In a Socialist society, the government is still democratic, and people are still free to run businesses, create corporations, etc. However, most left wing governments admittedly have been corrupt, leading one person or a few people to excercise near complete control over their nations. The same, however, can be said for all forms of government, at least those that have been used.
