About 100 million killed in one century. That's a pretty good reason.

Ah, yeah, just forgot to ask how many people die in your country due to not being able to afford healthcare? Or get killed on the streets because who allow anyone to have a gun to "protect" ones self.

Mao Zedong alone was responsible for well over 70 million deaths, if anything, 100 million is a conservative estimate:

Unless you know nothing of history, 100 million is an exaggeration, it is estimated Mao was responsible anywhere between 49-78*, so it's not well over 70 million.

Your joking right!? I mean, you can not be that dumbfounded, even if your parents played basketball with you as a baby. You CANNOT be that ignorant. Does this just prove how uneducated your country is.

Yes

I'm scared of any system of social organization that attempts to legitimize a primarily coercive model of ordering society and economy. Sadly, almost all of our modern political philosophies (on the left AND right alike) embrace this model to some extent. I'd call myself an anarchist, but most people think that refers to sinister figures with black moustaches who lob bombs at people.

what we've seen in the way of communism has led us understand that it doesn't work, it is as easily corrupted as any other approach, and much evil is too easily done in its name ...

As is every form of goverment. You can't have have any extreme ( Communism and Nazism) and you can't have it inbetween. Progressive goverment doesant work ( Greens) and too bias won't work either.

individual freedom (within reasonable limits, see, e.g., the Golden Rule) is the best way for humanity to live. IMHO.
