    Democide is a concept proposed by American political scientist Rudolph Rummel to describe "the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command."[1][2] According to Rummel, this definition covers a wide range of deaths, including forced labor and concentration camp victims, killings by mercenaries and unofficial private groups, extrajudicial summary killings, and mass deaths due to governmental acts of criminal omission and neglect, such as in deliberate famines, as well as killings by de facto governments, i.e. civil war killings.[1][2] This definition covers any murder of any number of persons by any government.[1][2]

    Rummel created democide as an extended term to include forms of government murder not covered by genocide. According to Rummel, democide surpassed war as the leading cause of non-natural death in the 20th century

    It remains so the numbers Rummel uses are hardly being accepted as true. You're fully ignoring that.
    It remains so that the number of 148 million includes wars. There is no reference in there that it's not. Nor is there a reference made that it's all a democide.

    It remains so that I put up a different source putting that number under the 100 million.
    Your source claims +40 million people died in wars. Both numbers combined end up being close to 148 million. Well well.


    And you are not proving how communism is worse then colonialism.
    I asked you twice before.

    False. Why do you keep repeating something that has been debunked time and time again?

    How is it bogus? I heard him call them "really fine people" on national TV and I saw the pictures of who he was referring to.

    No you saw pictures on your TV of a biased report wanting you to believe that's who he was referring to. Whatever channel you were watching, find a different one.

    “Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group,” Trump replied. “But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.”

    There were very fine people on both sides of the tearing down statues debate. I would hope you agreed with Trump on that.

    "As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America. And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

    Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our Creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our Constitution. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America."

    "I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee."

    body count proves it body count you ignore
    and I'm referring to body count committed by communist governments on its own people not casualties of war
    Mass killings under communist regimes
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_regimes
    even if we go with the lowest estimate of 85 million to100 million you show me where colonialism mass murdered as many
