Where do you get the 20 M figure from?

Alternatively, I would say 10 M at highest (which of course makes it better by quantity).

[Start Necrophiliation]
2.2 M died in GULag + 0.8 M executed for political reasons + 0.6 M death due to exiling = 3.6 M

Next are the deaths caused by the “artificial” famine: This number goes from 0.7 M (Communist downplaying) up to fantastic 7 M (Urainian nationalists). Let’s take 5.5 M, even though it’s disputable how “artificial” this famine really was.

That ends up at 9.1 M.
[End Necrophiliation]

German Nazism caused 50 M deaths until one beast killed the other beast.

Pop quiz: How many people died because of Capitalism and U.S. Imperialism so far?
How many Native American Indians died because of the invasion of their country and during the Reservation process?

Thanks.

P.S.: No, I’m not a Commie. But I’ve have to admit: I’ve got a slight PC bone in me: I’m against genocide.
