    Are we counting the deaths from the the famine caused by the Chinese Great Leap Forward lead by the communist party?

    Communism sounds good but it depends on who leading to make good decisions. I would not want a communist system under Donald Trump

    In communism the whole makes the individual. In capitalism the individual makes the whole

      This is a bit silly. The famine in China was largely a result of natural disasters, the communists ended famine in a region that had them historically. Further, socialist systems are comprehensively democratic, and cannot be led by a single person unilaterally. Even with party leaders and whatnot, socialist governance is collective.
