The local commie agitators like to get huffy about The Holocaust when they’re calling everyone that disagrees with them a fascist. Bring up The Holodomor, and that was just a little oopsie on Stalin’s part.

Whatever you want to call it, each and every one of the perpetrators of it will answer on the dreadful day when they meet the Lord. No one’s going to escape that accounting. I can’t fathom the horror of being called to account for mass murdering MILLIONS, yet we have several devil children living now who are vying for the opportunity to kill kill kill again…though they pretend it’s from kindness.

I think the world is going to get a look at this concept up close and personal very soon.

Democides are not the elimination of entire cultural groups, but rather groups within the country that the government feels they need to be eradicated for political reasons and future threats.

Like the women and children abused at or on their way to the border. Brandon may soon rank with some of the great mass murderers of history.

Democide statistics. Death by government (usually your own) is the number one cause of death throughout history,. Wars are not even close.

Death By Government was a great book by Rummel. Big Government kills (at a very large scale).

I would add Green Democide where government green policies cause mass deaths due to temperature extremes without adequate heating or cooling or starvation from environmental policies that restrict agriculture.

I must say I don’t care for the word.

demos is Greek for “the people.”
Ideally you would want a Latin root here instead.

Populicide would be fully Latin.
I want to say fully Greek would be “demothanasia.”

But he’s trying to convey something fuzzy here.


This also includes nonlethal acts that in the end eliminate or greatly hinder the group. Looking back on history one can see the different variations of democides that have occurred, but it is still the act of killing or mass murder.

A great example would relate to Hitler and Mao Zedong. A generalized meaning of genocide is similar to the ordinary meaning but also includes government killings of political opponents or otherwise intentional murder.


I’m not clear on whether the desired concept is the “nonlethal acts” or the “government killings of political opponents.”

I suppose populicide or demothanasia would be killing of all people and something more specific is desired.
