That's the point I'm making though - dictators are the problem not socialism. True, so called socialist societies have trended towards dictatorships, but it's not inherent within the system. And being a genocide psychopath is not an inherent trait of dictators (although again, it does trend that way). But genocide is just as much possible capitalist societies as it is socialist.

The only person saying otherwise, though, is the original picture, who is implicitly being mocked on account of this being... well, Tankiejerk.
