Also the body count thing is counting what? Actual state organized killings? Or is it also including things like famine and periods of anarchy and most of all wars, both civil and otherwise. If this is the first thing I see the gist, and it's interesting. But I strongly doubt that's the case. In which case this is almost kind of meaningless.

Sorry, read the link. Counting famine seems kind of...I don't know, misleading? Yeah there's the (controversial) accusing of Stalin of purposefully starving the Ukraine, which would fit. But the famine that happened in China after the failure of the Great Leap Forward was a tragic avoidable accident that came about due to a mix of bad planning, dogmatic obedience, and fear of speaking up about issues with the plan working. To suggest that Mao had planned to starve that amount of people is well...wrong.

Then again the Great Leap Forward also stands as one of the best examples of that sort of 100% command economy based on authoritarian rule completely and utterly failing in every sense, entirely for reasons to do with it's very essence. The fact that it was a Communist one aimed at making peasents lives better, and ended up delivering them straight to hell...makes it all the more symbolic of Communism's ironic failure. I'm talking alot I know lol.

Most of the victims in Vietnam were probably down to the USA fighting a war against a people who had democratically voted in a "Communist" government, with the USA supporting the unpopular and corrupt governments of South Vietnam.....just saying

I would agree with most of the comments above. Some famines, unlike Ukraine under Stalin, weren't necessarily caused by a communist government. Were deaths from WWII included ? Military and civilian? If so.it hardly seems fair to blame this on communism, as Poland and the USSR were decimated population wise on the Nazi's eastern fronts.

War deaths weren't included, and i realized including the chineese famine may have been contraversial, China would still have more deaths, because it has almost 20 million more deaths than the USSR

The total list is very weird. Cuba 73,000? East Germany 70,000? Did they include everybody person that died in the communist era, including those who died of natural causes? And 58 mio for USSR? That must have been one quarter of their whole population.

Poor understanding of significant figures on display here.
