You are confusing socialism with communism. The only thing linked to communism is forced labor and death camps.

You know who the US communists are as they're the ones who never talked to anyone that had to live through it.

So we should support 'communist' Russia over 'Right Wing' Nazis in Ukraine?

Either that or mass murder, stolen property, and revoked freedoms. But if we were in a communists country, they wouldn't do that to you.....right?

Yeah we totally don’t have revoked freedom in the U.S. or a history of genocide or imperialism. and who cares if capitalist property is confiscated? Cry me a river.

Many members of my family actually immigrated here to the US, well, you can guess when. Communism does not work. And yes, we have revoked freedoms here, and genocide and imperialism, but nothing particularly close in 300 years as the communists accomplished in 70.

What makes you say communism doesn’t work? And we have far surpassed any crimes the communists committed.

The collapse of communism around the 90s. The mass starvation killing millions, the way humanity operates in general really. As for as economic systems, it's pretty awful. But really, it's awful morally, I care more about that then all the times it failed economically. Which is every time.

Morally, any authoritarianism is bad and objectionable. But experiments with socialism in the USSR, China, etc were not complete failures. A planned economy can absolutely work, there is no question about that. Other communist experiments like in the Sandinistas or Burkina Faso did not get to survive long enough because they were sabotaged or taken over, but they had great successes too. I blame the famines on poor science used by Marxist-Leninists and their top-down approach to agriculture.

Yes, you are. If you vote for something that causes a certain thing, and you know it, you are defending it.

You are the electorate. Every person in the United States has the influence on how the country goes. By deciding that you love communism and the o so good fruits of it (like homicide), you make a scratch in the future.

The green movement. Still keeping golden rice from being approved for human consumption. Could have prevented tens to hundreds of millions of cases of blindness by now.

Not only do you forget evil people can still exist in capitalism and control much of the system by now, but you forget that those causes of death are the same FORCED causes that communists Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim, and Castro used to dominate.

Oh, malaria. You do not want to go there.

Rachel Carson, author of 'Silent Spring'. Got DDT banned. DDT, which could have eliminated malaria worldwide. It did eliminate malaria in a few places, like Panama (and got the canal built).

There are still people in Africa who want her charged with crimes against humanity for that.

This is hilarious. The Moscow show trials, the Holodomor (Lenin's terror famine in Ukraine), the great leap forward, the killing fields of Democratic Kampuchea; the list of the mass graves and failures of communism, is exactly as long as the attempts at communism.

And here we have yet another in a long and endless line, spouting the same line. "true communism has never been tried".

National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI in German); fascists look exactly like communists to me. No wonder they attack education. People who know things, are impossible to lie to.

If you think Nazis and communists look the same you should really get a better education. You’re also missing the point that capitalist countries/colonists have committed similar or worse atrocities but are dismissed from the same criticism.
