Marxism killed 100 million people. We need comparisons to understand just how incredible that number is. Here are some comparisons:
- Hitler's monstrous mass killing of the Jewish people and those deemed unfit for life was approximately 10 million
- The combined death toll from World Wars I and II was approximately 50 million
- The Spanish Inquisition has had 40,000 deaths as its highest estimate and even that number is almost certainly too high (see Bearing False Witness by Rodney Stark)
- The Spanish Flu of 1918 killed 10-20 million
“The fact remains: communism, not Nazism or racism or whatever other ism you please, is the deadliest fantasy in human history, and even Americans, for all our struggles against it, have not yet looked it full in the face.”
- Jonathan Rauch
