Quote:By the way, "Peaceful Socialism" has killed more people than wars ever will. Power in the hands of the State, will often result in the deaths of those citizens deemed unnecessary.
Got some calculations to back that up? Even taking the view that Maoist Communism falls under the "Peaceful Socialism" category (which seems crazy to me, since they were heavily armed revolutionaries, but maybe I'm a peaceful socialist), I don't see how you'd even come within a country mile of historical war deaths, let alone the limitless possible future war deaths.
(Even throwing Stalin in there, making the "peaceful" a wholly ironic category, I still think you'd be short by at least 100 million, probably far more.)
