No one imagined 25 years ago that AIDS would become the deadliest epidemic in history.

I think communism's still killed more.

I think you're right. Stalin and Mao probably killed 30 million people, each. Add several million due to Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein (Baathist Socialist), and Hitler (National Socialist Party or Nazis). ETC.
Yet we still have politicians and voters who haven't learned anything. They still want collectivism, socialism, communism; i.e., more government control and less individual freedom.
