"So a list of failed democracies would prove that democracy is a failed ideology?" It would be an interesting list. Throw in Republics too. "Sure. And malaria kills X amount of kids every minute." Yes, and malaria is an act of nature. I believe the reference was to more intentional acts of killing. You know like: National Socialist Hitler's genocide of 6 million Jews, Stalin's forced starvation of 6 to 7 million Ukrainians. Stalin's great purge of the communist party which killed between 700k and 1.5 million. Che's hand in killing over 10,000 dissidents in Cuba in the 1960's. Mao's Great Leap forward which killed 20 million people Khmer Rouge killing 2 million in 4 years. While anyone dieing of malaria is a shame, it isn't in the same league.
