I don't think that you would ever acknowledge the millions of deaths that socialism and it's relative communism are guilty of but there is that. Also, there are people dying of hunger, literally. There has never been famines in any democracy, ever. I would recommend reading Amartya Sen. The fact that the USA has indeed sponsored the fall of regimes even in South America as you did not point out interestingly enough, does not negate under ANY circumstance the crimes of said regimes. You might want to google what was Hugo Chavez's net worth at his time of death (about $1 Billion USD). See.. the thing is socialism is great business for government and it portrays itself as benign for it's "giving" ethos but it is totally detrimental to countries and I would go as far as saying reprehensible.
