In terms of communism, its more then likely that a command based ideology is going to lead to killing, it shows up The Soviet Union across multiple leaders, China to this day, Cuba, and a lot of other communist regimes were incredibly murderous. When you put all decisions in the hands of a few, its going to lead to murder.



Religious based theocracies pretty much murder central.


Ideologies can absolutely murder people.
No idea can ever murder another person, it takes a person to murder or to order the killing of someone else. I get the sense from your paragraph on communism that we can agree on that.
