You want to call football and obscenity as well.

I am quite correct.
USSR: 20 million deaths
China:65 million
Vietnam:1 million
North Korea:2 million( and counting)
Cambodia:2 million
Eastern Europe:1 million
Latin America:150000(and counting)
Africa:1.7 million
Afghanistan:1.5 million
The international communist movement and communist parties not in power: approx. 10000
So it is not just the
soviet implimentation of communism, it is a worldwide phenomenon. Most of those people would have lived out their lives if communism had not existed. To say that it is the implimentation of communism that caused the problem not communism itself is like saying that paedophilia is not the problem it's just the implimentation of paedophilia.
