    It just happens that communist regimes commited all these atrocities. Pure accident.

    People were starving in the great depression

    Great depression happened once and had the span of 10 years. Communism has history of massive poverty and starvation over the entire 20th century. For the entirety except few periods of economic distress, the wealth difference between communist and capitalist states is unquestionable. Communism doesn’t work. It doesn’t work to the point of former USSR puppet states voting it away in democratic elections… Once the fall of USSR allowed untampered elections that is.

      There was a great depression, and many many small depressions.

      At least capitalism gave us door dash and only fans. So people can survive.

      Btw atrocities are not exclusive for communism. But i guess you don’t count all the humans killed by colonial and capitalist regimes. And don’t get me started on raping the environment. For somebody’s fifth yacht.
