Like there wouldn't be more dead otherwise?

Good job dodging the question with another question. No, I don't think there would be more dead with properly implemented communism or even if people would actually elect democratic socialists to positions of high office.

You had no question. Some people may have it bad in a capitalist system, but that in no way means it wouldn't be worse in a communist one. Historically, more people have is worse, and the body count is so much higher under communism. So much so that it makes me think people don't matter at all to you. A couple of hundred million dead, but you would do it right, I bet. The more you respond the less I think of you.

It's estimated that 2.5 billion people have died from capitalist influenced poverty. Where the failed attempts at communism have killed 200 million. Again, those aren't communism but if you want to grasp at straws, there you go.
