    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.
