Yes you are right. The Marxists have killed about 150 million business men, farmers and other able people.
I think it is time to balance the scales.

You flunked political science, right? And (although you don't understand Marxism) Marx has been dead for ...oh, I dunno, about a century and a half.

To be fair, a lot of not-very-related people have called themselves Marxists (or Marxist-Leninists etc.) over the years, including more than a few murderous bastards. Marxism is like the religions in that way - in the wider sense, it can cover anyone who considers themselves such, from the economist, to the common member of a communist party, to the historian who views history through a Marxist lens... and all the way to the poorly-educated death squad member who is eliminating undesirables "for the good of the People".
So... for a certain interpretation of the term "Marxist", this freeper isn't necessarily wrong (note: here I'm not getting into the exact numbers of victims attributed to the actions of 'Marxist' regimes).

Two others nearly were earlier this year in Britain: as well as a police officer. One was killed: but not the intended target(s).
Here is an officer in the KGB :

It's a start. [/Salisbury]
You said 'it is time to balance the scales', we didn't.
So if every non-Republican/Trumpista is a Marxist, then every R/T is a Nazi.
Unfortunately, I don't think that generalization is far wrong anymore.
Oh noes! Followers of Aristotle have caused the deaths of naked mole-rats everywhere!
Well; That's what you sound like.
Goons like Stalin, Mao and Castro were not representative of Marx's theories, dummy.
What Marxists? Where?
Sweden has a party that used to be called "Communist Party Marxists-Leninists (the revolutionary)", KPMLr for short in Swedish. They skipped everything but "Communist Party" in 2005. In the last election, (2014), they got 61 votes. I doubt that these guys have killed any "business men, farmer or other abled people", let alone 150 million of them...
A lot of the Jews murdered in the Holocaust were business men and other able people.
I'd be willing to bet that capitalism has killed far more people throughout history, what with the old days of casting people aside after getting hurt on the job and rampant pollution shortening lifespans, not to mention the ever creeping specter of runaway global warming.
And as far as "evening the score," what do you think is going to happen after you kill a bunch of "Marxists?" They'll of course want to do the same. And then you'll want to "even the score" again. Gandhi had it right when he said "An eye for an eye soon leaves the whole world blind."

Something I wish the Israelis & Palestinians realized.
I don't care who started it! Those two need to bury the hatchet and co-exist in the same country! It ain't that hard! Many in the USA do it just fine! There's plenty of diverse cities and neighborhoods. I grew up in a neighborhood that had both black & white kids and we didn't kill each other over it. My best friend in Junior and Senior High was a black girl! YEESH!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
