I know everybody here gets it, but in case some chud wanders in, lots of people died under Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. The difference between them is, Hitler INTENDED for those people to die. Famines used to happen you fucking idiots
Also, if communist countries hadn't had to scramble to build up defensive capacity against the imminent threat of imperialism, they probably would have handled modernization a lot more smoothly. If the USSR hadn't industrialized the former Russian empire at breakneck speed, the Germans would have steamrolled them and ethnically cleansed large parts of eastern europe.
