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.
Some of the biggest genocides and mass murder were conducted by communists believing in communism organized in communist parties. It’s not an outlier. Things always go terrible when they come to power. The ideology is flawed, otherwise it wouldn’t have these extreme and undesirable outcomes.
Every economic system has created mass murderers and genocides. It turns out mass murder and genocide is just a bad habit that humanity has, and it doesn’t really matter what system of goods distribution you use.
If mass murder and genocide was written into the basic ideology of Communism, then yes, I would agree with you. But it isn’t. Just like mass murder and genocide isn’t written into capitalism. But there are plenty of capitalistic countries that do mass murder in 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.
Fuck all fascists and fuck all communists.
When your ideology justifies genocide it means your ideology is pure evil.
You advocating for Democrats makes you a supporter of that fascism. 50 years of liberal ‘lesser evil’ was actually incremental fascism
I am not an American, I am not advocating for your Democractic Party at all. Both of your parties are supporting the genocide in Gaza.
And there are no alternative parties that have a chance to govern, your country is fucking broken.
Checks notes on Communism…
Doesn’t say anything about genocide here chief.
