I'm not aware of any advocation of death in communist literature. Can you provide some citations?

  Googling comes up with >Here’s Marx in an 1848 newspaper article: “there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror.” And commies seem to mostly follow Marx, hence perhaps the deaths. I've never been a fan of Marx - he seems to write reams of pompous twaddle. And then I guess when the pompous twaddley stuff doesn't produce utopia more revolutionary terror is the answer. Perhaps you could come up with a better socialist system without that stuff.
