I'd like to, but my guillotine has a mind of its own. And I can't do a thing with it.
Off with your head! Another for the cast of Futurama!
Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps! Cross-eyed mosquitoes, and bow-legged ants! I come before you to stand behind you. To tell you a story I know nothing about.
One bright morning, in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back, they faced each other, drew their swords, and shot each other. If you do not belive this lie, it's true! Ask the blind lady on the corner! She saw it, too!
It's a Joker world, baby, you just live in it!

Har. De. Har Harr.
However, in an attempt to salvage this thread, let me note the following:
Why Communism Kills
Communism kills! This is not debatable.
The record is crystal clear. The U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee conducted investigations into the number killed in the Soviet Union and China. Their report stated that 35 million to 45 million had been killed in the Soviet Union and 34 million to 62.5 million in Communist China.
Even these figures are considered inadequate by authorities on the Soviet Union such as Solzhenitsyn and Antonov Ovesyenko. The latter, whose father led the Bolshevik storming of the Winter Palace in 1917, has recently published the book entitled The Time of Stalin-Portrait of a Tyranny. He calculates those killed as a result of the Communist conquest of Russia at 100 million.
Some apologists for Communism acknowledge that Communism has killed in the past, but they blame this on incidental factors such as the traditions of cruelty and violence which existed in the countries conquered by the Communists, and they do not believe that killing is an essential ingredient of communism itself. They believe that the triumph of Communism in the United States, England, or Western Europe would not lead to mass slaughter. Are they right or are they suffering from a dangerous delusion? To answer this question, it is necessary to know why Communism kills.
Why?
A simple, direct answer to the question, "Why does communism kill?" is-because the founder of Communism, Karl Marx, told them it was necessary to kill a large segment of the population in order to attain the basic objective of Communism.
Marx states in the Manifesto of the Communist Party:
You must, therefore, confess that by "individual" you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.

Though, in all fairness, those figures represent the horrific failures of China and Russia, not necessarily communism as a whole. Though I don't think communism would really work in practice.
But lumping all communism together is like lumping all democracies or monarchies together. Its like going back to the 17th century and saying England, France, and Spain are the same because they all have kings/queens.
Bow ties are coool.

You know I normally don't like to be insulting, but do you read your post? You say communism isn't bad even though it doesn't work in practice. That means it doesn't work. Democracies do work in practice sometimes not but sometimes they do so you can't lump them all together. There is no example of communism that isn't bad. I now understand why google does your thinking for you.
