You are a good Christian, I applaud you.
Communists never sleep or EVER give up
Nice link you got there. Goes to none.org with no content.
There is no contest when it comes to numbers.
China was in violent turmoil for such a long time, with competing warlords in a dynamic civil war, that it would hard to say how many communists were killed prior to Mao’s takeover. The Shanghai Massacre dispatched thousands of communists, but nothing like the multitudes of people exterminated by the triumphant Maoist regime.
Russia hanged a fair number of terrorists and revolutionaries of various persuasions before 1917, though the majority were anarchists and Socialist Revolutionaries, not actual communists. The Tsarist regime was insufficiently ruthless, determined, and competent to do what was required to wipe out its opposition.
“The 45 million estimate for Mao is dwarfed by the Islamic invasion of India which reduced their population from 600 to 200 million over eight centuries, and is considered the greatest genocide in history.”
I read an estimate that the Mongols, all totaled, killed between 20-25% of all the people alive at the time. I presume that’s just the lands that they occupied.
I haven’t seen estimates for the Bronze age collapse, but the Mongol invasion and the Bronze age depopulation would need to be in percentages because the population of the Earth was so comparatively low at those times. If I recall, the population didn’t cross one billion until the twentieth century.
that’s what I have to do to post personal opinions. If you know some other way let me know.
More deaths by mothers and fathers than communists, by FAR.
WE ARE WORSE.
Yep, which is why the first thing they do is to disarm the people. A disarmed populace is easier to control/imprison/murder.
