That's because communism has murdered more innocents than any other ideology in historical record. Which makes it the worst known idea that has ever been put into practice.

If facts trigger you, then that's your problem.

Are you sure about that? American foreign policy and all the coups and shit the CIA have been up to stack up over the last couple hundred years. The USA is the only nation to ever use nukes as a weapon.

Communism is just as bad and the other side of the coin. 100 million dead under Mao. 40 million dead under Stalin. There's a reason the US doesn't count their kills. Bad for PR.

Absolutely certain. The death counts of all the wars the US has been involved in put together do not hold a candle to the number of people murdered by the USSR alone. That is counting all deaths on all sides.

Nonsense.
