Communism is not the only alternative to Capitalism. Also it is worth to discuss whether a self-described communist system was truly communist.

Also, pure communism, enlightened despotism and all other political ideologies that require top-down control, seem to all have the same failure mode. The violence is a side effect of the authoritarianism, not the economic model (I think). More democratic societies have fewer and less lethal political purges. I don't know what a fully democratic pure communist system would look like but I'd be very interested in seeing how it played out.

Communism Light, all that great communism flavor with less murder (so far)
