You are willfully missing the point. You can’t compare Russia to South Korea to claim communism bad. Russia has and will screw up every system it tries. You need to compare communist Russia to capitalist Russia. There the comparison looks much less favorable.

Also your graph proves my point. The giant drop in life expectancy is when it transitioned from communism to capitalism.

Why? I absolutely can. DPRK vs South Korea is an even better example.

Well, duh. And capitalism _swiftly_ outpaced the previous rate. As somebody who experienced Soviet dentistry and medicine first-hand, I'm not at all surprised.
