Any form of government, including but hardly limited to a communist government, can be very good or very bad. It's naive to think that because a communist country has done horrible things means that with communism comes those horrible things. But, if you want to fear a system of government, all the reasonable explanations in the world can't change that. I just hope you know that you're following along the lines of McCarthy.

Actually Will you miss the point.
I won't even argue the 12 million number, I'll give it to you as is.
That was one period starvation in China alone THIS century.
The problem with communism is that it does it TO ITS OWN PEOPLE. If you take everyone killed by democracies they are a pittance to what communist government were doing to their own. The very concept of cultural revolution is violence against ones own people.
Some of us would rather not be killed by our own government, its not 'our thing'.
