If we did universal healthcare and killed ten percent of left-handed people, then statistically, that’s a net plus. Statistics are not soft and friendly things.
Ironic for a group that currently obsesses over anti-genocide to be pro-genocide;
"Even if every absurd fabrication that the anti-communist propagandists like to parrot about the millions supposedly killed by Stalin, Mao, etc. was true, those numbers would pale in comparison to the number of lives they saved, "

Creating gender equality
Until Stalin reversed it all lol (there are also no high-ranking women in the Chinese government – ever)
im not even going to touch their disdain towards imperialism while also praising modern-day china. i’d drown in the irony. Quick, someone, throw me a buoy!
What we really need is a female let totalitarian dictatorship.

See, out of a somewhat displaced curiosity, I’d actually like to see that. Would it turn out the “same” as previous mainly patriarchic autocracies? Would it collapse? Any interesting policies?
“Communism has poven track record of working”
More like a proven record of not working. How many communist countries are still around today? How many of those are places you would want to live? If they are communist they are also heavily authoritarian. At the end of the day communism “works” if you only believe what the state propaganda tells you. The reality is that forcing people into jobs and trying to eliminate competition ends up hurting diversity of thought. It is no surprise every communist revolution is a violent one. Add that to the fact that the farms completely fell apart and were not producing much output and you have a disaster that has to be covered up.
Though, real talk. I do think communism will become standard in the future, but not in our lifetimes, of course.
Frankly there is very little evidence to support that theory. The problem with communism is two fold. First, it removes the drive to improve processes. Second, it is highly vulnerable to people to game the system. People will always find a way to get more for themselves and because there is little incentives compared a regular market they will not work harder at there job.
The workplace is ruff and it is definitely is very unpleasant at times. You have to work to find a job and sometimes the job is just miserable. However, it forces the best performance out of everyone which is something communism fails to do.

Have you ever in your life seen a single minimum wage worker?
No offense, but you’ve eaten capitalist propaganda pretty fucking hard. Your comment tldr could be “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, and the irony is that you probably don’t even consider that sentences ironic.
Second, it is highly vulnerable to people to game the system.
That’s much more inherent in capitalism, because communism by default would require regulation whereas capitalism strives to get rid of it. Which is also why a lot of communism ended in authoritarian regime.
First, it removes the drive to improve processes.
The drive for novelty exists regardless of the economic system, it’s universal in humanity.
