I encurage everyone open and read the reports in comment iam reacting to.
I find it actually interesting, how you put the links there with your titles for them. But if open these links and you read through those reports they actually all say there was a massacre. Exept of this one and only source you so eagrly take words from "World Affairs" where you even took the fake headlines to the reports. While your tittle claims its Wall Street Jurnal.
These things make you wonder. Who are actually the people behind this account purpously misleading?
I can agree with you in some parts. They did not have any industrialized murder machine. But they mass murdered Polish by bullet, Ukrainians by starvation for example.
Communists imprisoned and/or sent to forced labor people for being gay, religious (not only jews) and yes "terrorists to the state" which in most of the time meant someone just spoke against regime. And well being a prisoner in Communist countries meant you were treated almost like jew in a nazi camp just without killing part sometimes.
All that said by my opinion communism wasnt racially supremacist ideology. It was just supremacist ideology. All they cared about was how great the state is and everything else is not.
Well, first, as far as i know China is known to miss report its economical report. But even if that would not be the case.

Extremism is "the quality or state of being extreme" or "the advocacy of extreme measures or views".

Or as i know it with these regimes both left or right: those that oppose and do not belive in our thing must be gotten rid of. I would say that is the extreme here to me. Thats what both communists and nazis did in Europe, in my country, in my city. And i want none of it to come back. Iam honestly terrified where is this world headding again.
But if you want to take a deeper look, this seems interesting if you have access:

Ah yes, get rid of extremism with different extremism. I think we've been there already. Spoiler: Didnt work.
