Communism is bad because communists think the ends justify the means and (as you are demonstrating) shamelessly excuse tens of millions of murders (proving they've learned nothing and will do it again when given the chance.)

I don't think communists "think the ends justify the means" any more than capitalists do, probably less if anything.

  We've got a communist in this thread being dismissive of 30 million dead. Communism is morally an intellectually bankrupt. It's an ideology for the bitter and depraved.

    Do we? You can't mean me since I haven't referred to 30 million dead. How many have died under capitalism?

      Liberal capitalism prohibits that. Value of human life is equal to infinity, except when in war. Utilitarian or «wild» capitalism did lot of harm to peoples and environment. For example, selling of addictive drugs is very profitable business, which kills or disables people.

You obviously have absolutely no idea what communists think, and what "communism" means. What you are demonstrating is that it is impossible to talk with you. Not sure if that is because you can't understand a basic sentence or just because you aren't open to even learn what a word means before making completely wrong conclusions, but I don't care. We won't have a constructive discussion, let's stop here.

  Communists think that it possible to build communism by killing of «bad» (rich) people, until good people, liberated from burden of capitalism, will build communism. In their imagination, it's OK to kill 30% of population to build heaven for them.

    Sounds like what I imagine when looking of a cliché about what people learn in the US. Are you from the US? And is it really what you're being taught there? Genuinely interested.
