Being a communist absolutely makes you an evil person. About 5 times more evil than the group of people they fought against in a war.

As for socialized medicine it makes doctors another arm of the government. In the UK last week (or the week before) one arm of the government ordered another arm of the government to kill a 9 year old. We are also just outside a 2 year stretch of tyranny of governments all over the world giving that arm of government near unilateral power over our freedom at the point of a gun.

I hope you can break from the the intellectual shackles that bind you. I hope you can visit other countries and read from sources of information outside your comfort zone. Subscribing to a belief about which system of economics you prefer does not make one evil.

Tell me you don't know what communism is without telling me you don't know what communism is.

Yes, every known communist country has been rife with fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption. But those are orthogonal with communism as an economic model. It's like saying socialism is evil because the Nazis were socialist (they really weren't) just because "Socialist" is part of "Nationalist Socialist Party" .

[citation needed], because this sounds like an extremely gross misinterpretation of a situation, likely done deliberately in bad faith.

The Viet Cong were 5 times more evil than the USA?
