Here is my (late) reflection on May day:

Celebrate Communism!
It only killed 110 million people.

Gotta love the Columbia College Republicans. I can’t wait to get over there to tear this liberal garbage apart.

So you don’t have to sift through the comments:

about all the lives capitalism has saved? What about all the years it has added to the world’s population?

Medicine? Technology? Industry? Universities?

Historians believe 9.4 and 12 million slaves arrived in the New World. Disregarding the fact that neither slavery nor mercantilism is capitalist (as capitalism requires a non zero-sum transaction), if we BUMP the number up to 20 million and considered every one of those lives “lost” or dead, that’s TWENTY MILLION FEWER than the number of lives lost in Mao’s China under the Great Leap alone.

Nobody said capitalism is perfect, but for all those who have suffered under the system, it was due to the system, not because of some government agent’s grudge or incompetence.

I don’t think it’s fair to say either Communism OR Capitalism really killed anybody. Ideologies don’t kill people — people kill people.
