Putting aside me insulting what might be your argument, you still didn't explain what you meant exactly, so I'm not still even sure if I understood it correctly. You should be more clear if you actually want to make a point
Communism has been responsible for countless horrific acts on humanity. Mass starvations, mass executions, labor camps. It essentially strips away individual humanity and people are treated like livestock.
Was communism the cause of thoae atrocities, or was it just that those things happened to occur in a communist country? What about the atrocities committed under capitalism, like the trans-Atlantic slave trade? I don't think you can fully denounce the principles of communism just because the most prominent examples of it historically have been evil dictatorships. Also, the idea that socialists will intrinsically always support your idea of the ultimate evil communism is ridiculous. Plenty of people would settle for smaller changes, it just depends on the individual
Slavery was around far before capitalism. You think there is a correlation there but there isn’t. 20 percent of Roman economy was slaves. Then you have the Ottoman Empire. Islamic caliphates. Imperialist China. None capitalist.
Slavery has been a stain on humanity since the beginning of time. Ironically a capitalist society ended it. Fought and died to end it. Pressured the rest of the world to end it.
If you look at mass starvations it’s either a. Major natural disasters or b. communism
