Tips / Bets How many people were killed by Communists ?

6 million or more ?

 

Is it a trick question, because there's never been proper communist or socialist Countries, so the deaths were all down to the remnants of the capitalist regimes?

 

No a legitimate question, although the numbers are blurry (as Holocaust victims aren't usually recorded and if they were the documents were probably destroyed) I'm going for 95 million plus .

 

I don't know the precise figure but it must be at least double figures.

 

Death By Agriculture
Stalin's drive to collectivize farms was a historic disaster.

In other News Marxists are cheering on the EUROPEAN UNION seizing the means of production & putting beurocrats in charge of growing our food .

 

Does the number include Nazis?

 

A few Germans were killed by Communists but it barely puts a dent into the total figure

 

Zero is the answer (rounded down)

 

The bulk of the tens of million were murdered by their own prople , starved to death or died in Gulags

 

Zero

Can you name the countries and I'll review my answer

 

You must have me confused with your angry vegan play thing .

The Cambodian Communists killed a few million in the 1970s to start you off

 

In 1932/33 a few million starved to death Holodomor .

 

Lol

Arguably they were agrarian socialists, despite the name tag

 

Estimated 100 million plus .

Spoiler alert

 

Victims of industry tbf

 

Fantasy alert

 

Seizing the means of production & forced famine is a very effective way of killing millions of people .

China Communists copied them

 

Seizing the actual food like old Churchill did to the millions of starved Indians would fit the bill more than, oops we ****ed up.

See dust bowl

 

Of course Russia was well known for its democratic non violent government and abundance of food prior to the revolution

 

A cyclone blew away much of the rice crops & Japan occupied the neighbouring countries that would usually aid India .

Climate change caused the Bengal famine not the British
