I mean I get it, but it still feels very disrespectful towards all the eastern europeans killed by bolshevism

In my opinion that is the second layer to this comic. Bolsheviks were pretty autocratic and tyrannical, so comparing their deeds towards left leaning politics today is disrespectful to the real victims.

yeah, I know, I get it. Consciously, I absolutely get it. But subconsciously...

It still somehow strikes the wrong tone in my opinion. I don't know how one could do it better, I just know that it irks me the wrong way.

You're not saving anyone, and victims of bolshevism are not victims of this comic. Please stop making problems up.
