In the 30's Stalin murdered millions of his own people and in the 20's Lenin forced people to abandon their private farms and go to huge corrupt monumentally inefficient collective farms with the result that millions died of starvation; In the 50's Mao did the exact same stupid thing in China in the name of communism and at least 30 million starved to death. In the 70's in Cambodia the communists murdered a greater percentage of their population than any regime in the history of the world. In the 90's in North Korea, a nightmare country as bad as anything George Orwell could dream up, communism caused two million to starve to death while South Korea, a country with the same culture and language but without communism became a world economic powerhouse. And yes half a century ago the CIA over through some 2 bit leaders in Chile and Iran, big deal.
