Hogs saying that, or saying "communism is worse because it killed more people" are spewing fascist talking points designed to normalize fascism in comparison to the "genocidal death count of communism"

    "the camps were developed in order to round up known German communists who were seen as the most die-hard opponents of the Nazi takeover."

      Concentration camps were invented by the British to destroy the Boer republics. See, those farmers were sitting on diamond mines, and such wealth was unsuitable for them. It was better suited to the hands of bankers, who would use the wealth responsibly, making the world safe for the spread of Anglo-Saxon capitalism. So a loan was taken out against the value of the diamonds and an army raised. But lo! The army was defeated! No trouble, a second army was raised. And this one was having problems too! So the British invented the concentration camp as a way to starve the defenseless families of the Boer citizen-soldiers. It worked. South Africa was set up not long after. Blood diamonds flowed freely, and the deBeers cartel came into existence. One tribe of whites invented the concentration camp to use on another tribe of whites (and blacks, they were imprisoned too but nobody remembers this).
