My apologies if you feel insulted about my stance, are you from a former soviet state? The fear tactics et al emloyed by the Russians were horrifying beyond belief. So I sympathize with you if you had to live through any of that.
My argument is purely economic, the consequences of communism/socialism are a different story. (And from what I know, China is not nearly to the degree that the Polish, Hungarians, Slovaks et al suffered from)

Perhaps as many as 30-60 million perished in the Cultural Revolution.
I would like to hear of the economic possibilities of socialism and how you think they would interact with human nature as we know it. Think of how you would accomplish this without transforming humanity.
