    Bit of a non-sequitor, I could bring up Kent State and use that to say the US isn’t a democracy. The US has a far worse track record than the Soviets.

        Numerous mass killings and/or genocides in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guatemala, East Timor, Cambodia, and much, much more.

            Can’t really call a civil war against Tsarists and fascists “killing their own civilians.” Moreover, the US bombed Cambodia more than any other country on the planet. Pol Pot wasn’t a Communist, but he was stopped by the Vietnamese Communists.
