Every time I see numbers like these, they are lower. China, for example, killed over 70 million by starvation caused by it's Great Leap Forward, and that doesn't include the millions killed in the broader Cultural Revolution, in which thousands of kids formed literal armies in the streets of the big cities and had pitched battles against each other, despite all being communists, and also had kangaroo trials where they publicly executed their teachers. No joke, this shit happened.
Similar with the Nazis, who ought to be on this list, since they were socialists. We hear all the time now that they killed 6 million people. But that was the number of Jews allegedly killed, not the total. The total was double that, at least 11 million "undesirables" murdered outside of military action.
When presented with a range, pick the bigger number. I can guarantee that decades ago, even larger numbers were used.
