DBWI: Genocide not only associated with the far left?

We all know what horrible crimes of genocide, of crimes against humanity and peace, wars of aggression etc. pp. the left, so-called communists, collectivists, syndicalists and whatever they call themselves, have committed.

Is it possible that these crimes, especially those of the infamous Pomeranian Corporal Heinz Spundflasche, don't happen? Is it possible that some of the 'lesser' genocides (I will only point to Matteo Callà, Cihan Kahveci, or Srithh Ceou alias British Man o' War) could be prevented?

Could the far-right be somehow genocidal as well?

And what consequences would that have?

Well we can start by preventing the Imperialist powers from being so successful in their whitewashing their various genocides, particularly in their colonies. Also the fact that they tend to lump every death that occurred in left-wing countries as part of a deliberate premeditated plan.

For that to happen you would probably have to prevent the destruction of the Socialist League and the ensuing age of reaction. History is written by the winners.

OOC: given that right-wing governments committed genocide before 1900 and in the early 20th Century it stands to reason that a world where genocide is only associated with the left would be one where the crimes of the right have been airbrushed out.

Interesting. How can we prevent the destruction of the Socialist League? Is it enough if the Pomeranian Corporal doesn't come to power or gets killed off earlier? Or can we do it even with the Pomeranian Corporal?

I think the DB part, not the wording, is what confused people. Both far left and far right regimes have been guilty (as well as the center left English Whigs with the potato famine and Andrew Jackson with the Trail of Tears).

Genocide is associated with the right for two reasons. One is that genocide itself is considered a far right policy. The other is that the most murderous left wing regimes (Stalin and Mao) killed indiscriminately instead of being fixated on specific populations.
