There are semantic differences, sure. The outcomes are horrifyingly the same. Lots of people die.

Some 10 million in fascist Germany[0], some 60 million in Soviet Russia, more than 70 million in communist China, etc.[1] Though, I'm not sure how to treat "just let them starve". Is it murder if you have the means to feed them? Is it murder if you don't even try?

I wasn't arguing against you. I just know the statement you posted pisses off both fascists and communists which I'm completely fine with.
