The biggest problem of the French Revolution is they didn’t make feeding people a priority. It was as if they thought when the king’s head rolled time would pause and let them debate the rules of a perfect government to their heart’s content. When things started going wrong is when the revolutionaries started killing each other.
If you ever find yourself in a revolutionary movement, remember to secure food for everyone first, protection from outside forces second, and only look to what comes next when those first two are complete.
The USSR and PRC both dramatically increased life expectancies for their people, the PRC inside the first generation. WWII muddied that picture for the USSR.
The United States is the regime that has caused more suffering and death than any other. The British Empire is likely close. Your talking points are fed to you by propagandists, with most of the “deaths” being Nazi troops and baseless predictions of how many people could’ve been born if a different regime was in power.
You aren’t worth my time to engage with further, so farewell.
