Are we counting the deaths from the the famine caused by the Chinese Great Leap Forward lead by the communist party?
Communism sounds good but it heavy relays on who leading to make good decisions.
In communism the whole makes the individual. In capitalism the individual makes the whole

This is a bit silly. The famine in China was largely a result of natural disasters, the communists ended famine in a region that had them historically. Further, socialist systems are comprehensively democratic, and cannot be led by a single person unilaterally. Even with party leaders and whatnot, socialist governance is collective.

I would not want a communist system under Donald Trump But Trump is openly a Capitalist? If current Trump could lead such a system, would that be a communist systne? Or would it remain as a communist system? In communism the whole makes the individual. In capitalism the individual makes the whole Wouldn’t Communism have both, since it has dialectics?
