      You mean communism. Communism and socialism are not the same thing.

          Actually I would say "totalitarianism". Communism, per se, never killed anyone either. We have to start using words according to their meanings. Totalitarianism, as carried out by the Soviets, Maoists, South American Revolutionists, DID kill. Communism is just a system of living.

          It’s a system of living that every single time it has been attempted has led to totalitarianism. The combination of state control of everything and basic human nature will never end well. Whether it’s called fascism or communism, the result is always the same.

          Maybe he meant « killed it »....like 100+million people were super successful bc they had access to clean water, education, health care...

          The former countries of USSR and the Warsaw Pact were left multiple, huge environmental disasters in 1990 far worse than anything in the west at the time. They had virtually no environmental, workplace safety, civil rights, or consumer protection regulations at all.

          It's funny because it's true (merely on account of a substantively irrelevant semantic technicality)

          Communism is a type of socialism. In any case, though, "communism" didn't kill 100 million people (actually, that number is from a garbage book and is really exaggerated, but whatevs), Marxist-Leninist totalitarian regimes did. There was nothing communist or socialist about them.

          Also too, if we're going to count things like famines, then capitalism has caused untold deaths as well; not to mention brutal *capitalist* regimes. Or, you know, chattel slavery and genocide tied to capitalism and colonialism/imperialism. And so on.

          Let's stop using inflammatory terms. The only ism worth considering is pragmatism.
