china's hardly a communist country in its modern form. more like a very authoritarian capitalism.
Derrick
authoritarian: bingo - not saying there is a perfect 'system' but at least capitalism allows some potential for independence from an authoritarian state by means of accumulating wealth for oneself (ie- to escape or pay bribes to live comfortably within). Either way, the point is - you give your power (tax dollars, freedoms) to any 'system' and it will be used against you; if not now then later by opportunistic infiltrators.

a lot of those numbers are overblown but you're right in that the previous (well-known) implementations of communism were atrocious. but that's not really a realistic fear, is it? dozens of authors smarter than you or me have published books detailing war crimes committed by the USSR and chinese states, i haven't heard of them being eliminated in such a manner

ah nah man, as a commie i can tell you: if someone wants to kill you for knowing something, they aren't a communist. the whole point is for knowledge to belong to the people
