500% margin of error, pretty standard
So casualties from several wars as a minimum, plus another 98 million “mystery deaths”.
My guess is every surplus death in a third world country where the Soviet Union supported a revolution.
Add in the people murdered by anticommunist military dictatorships, because why not?
They wouldnt have to be anticomnunists if communists didnt exist!
Stalin is still to this day stealing your food with his giant spoon straight from his grave, the communist elite are more fascist than Hitler ever was
No matter how outlandish the Black Book death count is, its always way less than even a conservative estimate of deaths caused by capitalism. The British Empire alone tops these numbers
Hey, they topped 100m without dropping mao.
We are all victims of communism, the crime? Abandonment
“Slavery? We stopped that so it’s ok now, those numbers don’t matter.”
“Ok cool, we stopped purges and gulags so it’s ok now, none of those numbers matter anymore. Only numbers that exist today like lifespan, health and living standards increases each year matter now, the modern numbers.”
Actually it’s between 150 million and 300 million deaths.
hawaii.edu lmfao.
Whenever people share sources like this “from a university” I just look at the directory they shared from.
https://hawaii.edu/powerkills/ It didn’t disappoint this time
apparently it was collated by a dead ghoul (rest in piss) called Rudolph Rummel, who dedicated his life to this. Unsurprisingly he also supported the mass murder of Iraqis by the US government.
I looked this guy up assuming that he might have arrived via Operation Paperclip, but no, despite his name he was actually born in Ohio.
He tried to argue here that “democracies don’t make war” and then said the US doing covert action against other countries doesn’t count because “actchually the countries they targeted weren’t democracies, and it was okay because gobbunism bad, also the CIA is bad and not democratic but they wouldn’t do those things if they had more Democracy
” Like he actually tried to redefine “war” as armed conflicts strictly between 
so that any suffering the US inflicts on other countries is justified because they are Spreading Democracy™ and aren’t actually wars because the victim countries aren’t “democracies.”Also apparently the US Civil War wasn’t a war because the Confederacy “was not recognized by any major Power, which means that it was not recognized as an independent state.”
