Nice deflection,Marxism IS the most genocidal ideology in history.

Daniel Goldhagen argues that 20th century communist regimes "have killed more people than any other regime type."
[141] Other scholars in the fields of
communist studies and
genocide studies, such as
Steven Rosefielde and
Benjamin Valentino, have come to similar conclusions.
[37][142] Rosefielde states that it is possible to conclude that the "Red Holocaust" killed more non-combatants than "
Ha Shoah" and "
Japan's Asian holocaust" combined, and it "was at least as heinous, given the
singularity of
Hitler's genocide." Rosefielde also writes that "while it is fashionable to mitigate the Red Holocaust by observing that
capitalism killed millions of colonials in the twentieth century, primarily through man-made famines, no inventory of such felonious negligent homicides comes close to the Red Holocaust total."

Anti-
Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) propaganda literature
Mark Aarons states that right-wing authoritarian regimes and dictatorships which were backed by Western powers committed atrocities and mass killings that rivaled the atrocities and mass killings that were committed in the communist world, citing examples such as the
Indonesian occupation of East Timor, the
Indonesian mass killings of 1965β1966, the "
disappearances" in
Guatemala during the
civil war, and the assassinations and
state terrorism that were associated with
Operation Condor throughout
South America.
[143] Vincent Bevins argues that the
anti-communist mass killings that were perpetrated during the
Cold War have been far more impactful on shaping the
contemporary world than communist mass killings have been.
[144]
According to historian
Christian Gerlach, communist mass killings were generally exceeded by atrocities which were committed by those who opposed them; he cites the crushing of the
Paris Commune, the terrors of the
Spanish Civil War, and the
Indonesian mass killings of 1965β66 as examples, stating that "when both sides engaged in terror, the 'red' terror usually paled in comparison with the '
white'."
