No it's not a no.
Then give an example, because it just sounds like you’re meatriding. It’s really not hard to think that the system that denies people medical care at the point of service despite having the resources to help would have the highest body count. That’s not even touching the wars, which had the two worst wars in human history under its belt along with a slew of others.
If I attached your logic to communism (which I never even thought of doing until reading your comment) I could say that the world and all inhabitants on it was saved multiple times by the Soviets deciding to not launch their nuclear arsenal despite having every reason to believe the Americans had launched one at Moscow. Doesn’t make sense to give that big W out to communism as a whole and your point makes even less sense than that.
Alright then.
