UK colonialism killed 100 million in India. Six million children die from poverty in capitalist countries every year. Don't give me your "muh communist regime" talk.

British colonialism killed a whole lot more than that in India, that's just the figure for the worst 40 years. There's plenty more millions either side.
Neither the USSR nor the CCP ever tried to be communist. They used that banner to gather supporters and then seized all control of the government in an authoritarian takeover. Communism doesn't have "dear leaders" or usually even parties. Places like the USSR used their control over capital and wages and property ownership to control their populace entirely. We've never really seen an actual communist country because all the major efforts were sabotaged by people who wanted to be dictators.
