    No, I’m saying that it’s only “no you!” for bad faith actors. I’d like to think that isnt who we’re dealing with in this site.

      ah. In that case, we can all acknowledge that communism and capitalism have both lead to significant wars and violent non-war actions on the populace.

      The Korean war, The invasion of Hungary, the invasion of Czechoslovakia, sino/soviet border conflict, Chinese invasion of Vietnam…

      …but let’s not pretend that war is the end-all be-all of government criminality. We can look at democide, or just atrocious neglect that had occurred quite a few times in communism, add well as abuse of the populace.

      …now, I’m not claiming capitalism is good. But Communism isn’t some panacea that prevents tensions and violence.
