If you're not familiar with Richard Wolff, he's a communist who refers to the millions killed by Russia and China as "experiments socialists learned from".
His arguments are purely based on emotional rhetoric, where, because he and fellow communists have good motives, communism should be pursued to the ends of the earth because capitalism is not a perfect system.
Even putting aside the fact that we have historical proof demonstrating that socialists don't learn shit from previous socialist regimes, there's pretty solid proof that humans in general don't learn from previous generations. Besides the obvious conclusion of combining "Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it." with "History repeats itself." there's things like:
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Two thousand years later and the man still ain't wrong.
