I believe a similar sized list (scaled to the timelines) for all the failed Communist experiments from Central/East Europe, and Asia.
not even close https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/2/how-british-colonial-policy-killed-100-million-indians
You disregard the capacity of humans being evil under every regime. I mean you can have a few good men wanting to create a nice Communist utopia, but eventually a lot of evil man will take the power and use it in their own advantages. Every Communist implementation suffered from the same problems. Not only that, but because most Communist implementations were authorian in nature, the corrupt leaders in power had more tools to be evil.
People should become more enlightened and they will naturally desire communistic society. Until then, I guess we are stuck with this.
"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." - Martin Luther King, Jr
