Those are leaders that did genocide, not a property of communism. You don’t need to do genocide to have a communistic system. Communism was the first economic strategy humans did. It worked just fine without genocide.
Also this is a category error. It’s like if someone claimed that capitalism is genocidal. No, it’s not. Capitalism like communism is a method to distribute goods and services. Neither have anything to say about genocide.
I am not advocating for communism right now. I don’t even know how we would make that work given the size and scale of things. I think fascism is a more pressing problem right now anyway. But I think in the future if it seems like we can make something work that looks a bit like communism and it is better than capitalism and we can remain a democratic society, we should be open to it.

Sounds good, but I do think we need to give the government power to regulate industry and apply pressure to direct the economy generally.

Yes, also, telling companies that slavery is bad and they shouldn’t do it. I’m not sure tax cuts would be powerful enough to handle slavery problems.

If a company is using slavery, how would you use tax cuts to prevent them from doing slavery?
