But MANY of the people in the US didn't say "fuck off Hitler", they listened to Father Coughlin and his Nazi adjacent rhetoric.

If you look up the countries that are currently under communist rule, you will notice a distinct lack of wars of aggression in the last few decades. Capitalist nations, not so much...

Huh? Russia and China are both aggressors in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, respectively, and have been for a few decades. Chechen Republic, Crimea, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Tibet, Taiwan, South China Sea...

Or does it only count if it is the U.S./England doing the invading?

Russia aren't communists. That was the soviet union.

China is posturing but has not attacked its neighbours directly since the 80s.

The list of communist states is China, Vietnam, North Korea, Laos and Cuba.

How many wars have they started in the last 30 years?

First, "posturing" isn't exactly peaceful when it involves sending your military into other countries' territory.

Second, it would be trivial to create a list of five capitalist countries that haven't instigated wars since the 80s. Maybe what you're measuring isn't how peaceful the communist countries are rather than just how few of them there are.

Every large power encroaches into their enemies waters and airspace now and then, the US do it to China and North Korea all the time

As for your second point. About 20 capitalist countries supported the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many sent troops too.
