Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.
Another post pointing out this is BS. People died because of authoritarian dictators that used "Communism" as an excuse to exercise their power.
If the Soviet Union was ever actually really communist, it was only for a few months at the beginning of the system. Then it got bastardized by the people in charge to be a terrible system- thanks to horrible people like Stalin. Who killed much like Hitler.
The reality that it takes an authoritarian government to really make Communism work may be a good illustration that it doesn't work well. But killing is always the fault of the people doing it, not the system.
