I suppose you have the data to back up that statement?
I don't disagree that governments, and particularly paranoid/brutal dictatorships affect the moral of the people, but not every communist or former communist society is indifferent to human suffering. Heck, not every capitalist society cares about human suffering. There is so much more to the picture than a country's economic system when it comes to desensitization. Some of the kindest and most generous people I know were those that grew up under communism.
For the record, I don't care for communism one bit, I just find your statement naively ignorant.
