The article uses the 100 million number from the Black Book of Communism for "victims of communism". This number is famously wrong, and includes Nazi soldiers killed in WW2 and victims of the Holocaust. Neither of those are victims of communism. It also counts the unborn, and the unborn of the unborn, calculated from birth rates that are affected by so many other factors its irrelevant.
The article also suggests that socialism is "economic system in which the government controls all or nearly all of the economy". This is patently false, and there exist several independent libertarian (read: anti-statist) strains of socialism/communism. Socialism is worker ownership of the means of production, the totalitarianism is a feature of Marxism.
You don't have to lie and mislead to show that tyranny is pure evil.
