Interesting take on history. Between Stallin and Mao, the tally
for communisim may well exceed 60 million people. That's residents
of the countries that practiced it. I suspect to get your
"slaughter" for captialisim, you are defining wars as part of it.

Oh, I am well aware that many in the FUSSR still are warm to the
idea of communisim. However, you must realize that we in the west
have a hard time wrapping our minds around the idea of Russians with
an affection for a system that killed them off in truly stunning
numbers.
