The 100 million are the ones we know about. It’s hard to tell how many people communists have killed because they prefer to do it in secret. The Soviets used to haul away people in busses disguised as ordinary trucks. No one was fooled in the towns they passed through, though.

Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn in the multi-volume work The Gulag Archipelago estimated the death toll just from the Soviet Union itself to be around 100 million. Given what Mao Zedon did was just as aggressive in liquidating enemies, my 200 million figure may not be ridiculously far-fetched, sadly.
