Communist regimes killed some 100 million people — roughly 4 times the number killed by the Nazis. I just wonder what Stalinists´ whitewashers will say about this fact ...

"The 20th century was "red" indeed — red with the blood of communism's victims. The death toll of communism, cited in "The Black Book of Communism," is simply staggering: In the USSR, nearly 20 million dead; China, 65 million; Vietnam, 1 million; Cambodia, 2 million; Eastern Europe, 1 million; Africa, 1.7 million; Afghanistan, 1.5 million; North Korea: 2 million (and counting). In all, Communist regimes killed some 100 million people — roughly four times the number killed by the Nazis — making communism the most murderous ideology in human history. "

Why is it always the "Centrist that take a passionate stand on making sure everyone knows the Nazis are not as terrible as we all know they are?

You win!
I was wondering, watching that number go up by tens of millions, who would be the first to claim 100,000,000.
Wanna go for a billion?
 
Re: Communist regimes killed some 100 million people — roughly 4 times the number killed by the Na



What exactly did you think happened to all those Lithuanian Jews who “patriotic” Lithuanian militias, run by collaborators hailed as heroes today, helped round up.....when they didn’t just murder them out of hand, that is?

"Ninety-year-old Volha Barouskaya is the last known living witness to one of the atrocities of the Stalin era. As a girl, she stumbled on a mass killing of prisoners in the Kurapaty woods near Miensk (Bielarus´) , the site of thousands of executions by the Soviet secret police (NKVD). (RFE/RL's Belarus Service)"

Re: Communist regimes killed some 100 million people — roughly 4 times the number killed by the Na

Extreme ideologies tend to suck and not account for human nature, this is true whether its political, religious, or any other type of ideology when the people who are proponents of that extremism are in charged and unchecked.

It is completely pointless to say this one is worse than that one since they all create evil through the same fundamental misunderstanding that people are not robots created to follow some -ism, but are individuals.
 
Re: Communist regimes killed some 100 million people — roughly 4 times the number killed by the Na

The only reason Stalin killed more peopel than Hitler was because Hitler lost the war.

If you consider that the Nazis started WW2, we can add 50 million to their list.
 
Re: Communist regimes killed some 100 million people — roughly 4 times the number killed by the Na

the numbers came from this book

"The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression is a 1997 book by Stéphane Courtois, Nicolas Werth, Andrzej Paczkowski and several other European academics[note 1] documenting a history of political repressions by Communist states, including genocides, extrajudicial executions, deportations, killing population in labor camps and artificially created famines. The book was originally published in France as Le Livre noir du communisme: Crimes, terreur, répression by Éditions Robert Laffont. In the United States, it was published by Harvard University Press,[1]:217 with a foreword by Martin Malia. The German edition, published by Piper Verlag, includes a chapter written by Joachim Gauck. The introduction was written by Courtois. Historian François Furet was originally slated to write the introduction, but was prevented from doing so by his death.[2]:51 The book has been translated into numerous languages, sold millions of copies and is considered one of the most influential, although one of the most controversial, books written about communism.[3][4]

The book's title was chosen to echo the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee's Black Book, a documentary record of Nazi atrocities written by Ilya Ehrenburg and Vasily Grossman.[5]:xiii "

Like I’ve said numerous times before.....when you lot get rid of the celebrations of Nazi collaborators, then you talk about Stalin.

Because the camps Lithuanian Jews got sent off to were every bit as bad as the gulags— worse in some ways— and your heroes actively participated in that atrocity.
