The violence capitalist states use does not compare to the violence collectivist states use (let's not pretend this has ended).

Be kind of cool to back this type of BS with like a like to some cool propaganda place where you might have got this idea from…

Capitalist states have always respected the right of anyone to just walk away.

This made me “spit my coffee” laughing

And yet somehow you totally ignore that every large communist state, Russia, China, North Korea, Vietnam, ... implemented genocide as a policy to enforce communism.

Can we discuss the reasons for that? Because this thread was about violence inherent in communism. And your counterargument is essentially "look these other guys did something bad too!".

You could at the very least make the oldest claim in the book "but that wasn't REAL communism".
