Communists never threw children into the gulags and very few women. Most of the people in the gulags were assholes like you, that deserved to be there. The longest sentence was ten years. One decade. Here in the US today people get 1400-year sentences. That was unheard of in the Soviet Union. In civil wars, a lot of people die. That's true regardless of whether communists are involved in that civil war or not.
The American civil war camps were pits of death. The Indian reservations, and those slave ships full of black African slaves, were also death traps for men, women, and children. Whatever their supposed original intent might have been, it's irrelevant, due to the fact that the results were just as deadly and the capitalists were just as indifferent to the consequences. They did whatever they felt was in their interests, irrespective of the suffering or lethality of their actions.
Capitalist-run countries like Saudi Arabia chop people's hands off when a piece of merchandise is stolen. If a person has an ounce or more of Marijuana they get their heads chopped off. People get executed in capitalist Saudi Arabia and in other Muslim countries, for "witchcraft". A Saudi woman back in the early 2000s was executed for owning and operating a psychic hotline out of her home.
Capitalists:
Half a million Iraqi children died. Oh well, it's "worth it". Right? It's all for a "good cause".
General Wesley Clark - A few days after 9/11:
"WMDs" - Weapons Of Mass Deception. All of that capitalist warmongering $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
That's a lot of deadly mayhem. Capitalists love war, it's an extremely lucrative business opportunity. Look at the capitalist-run US government right now, sending weapons to Ukraine. We're on the precipice of plunging ourselves and all of humanity, into WW3 with Russia. The American military-industrial complex is making tens of billions of dollars with the war in Ukraine. This might be the end of all life on this planet.
Capitalist-run America hasn't finished yet with Afghanistan, even after 20 years of war and occupation. The US government is imposing a brutal sanctions regime upon on the people of Afghanistan as if they haven't suffered enough. You can claim the sanctions aren't intended to hurt the people of Afghanistan, but your objection is without merit and full of crap because the general population is nonetheless, the primary recipient of the devastating consequences of those sanctions. The US is also freezing billions of dollars of Afghanistan's money in EU banks that could be used to feed the children of Afghanistan.
Again, you have no moral high ground upon which to stand and point fingers at anyone. Death toll arguments are silly, especially when used by the defenders of capitalism when debating communists.
The fact remains that in the not-too-distant future, say within the next 40 or 50 years at the most, the United States, along with other modern, industrialized countries is going to have to adopt a non-profit system of production due to advanced automation technology. Money, as we know it today, is going to disappear, because there won't be any more markets, due to the elimination of wage labor
(no wage labor = no paying consumers = no markets). Your response to this inevitable and obvious fact, recognized by even the big-money capitalists themselves, is to in a convulsive fit, begin talking about gulags and the Soviet Union lol.
