No one look at Communism btw, those hundreds of millions of dead don't count as leftist violence!
umm... got a source for that?
There isn't any war in history where "hundreds of millions" died... that simply never happened
Are you adding up the deaths from every war combined, and blaming it all on "leftists"?
I agree there isn't any war where hundreds of millions died. There is however this fact that communism in general claimed the death of many people...100 million or more... We are talking about politically motivated deaths; as it happened in the USSR with the holodomor (there is a lot of literature about it), there was the war against the Polish minority which was forcefully resettled to Siberia/Kazakhstan, Tartar people too were re-settled, sent in Gulags, suffered from death marches, from so-called 'hearings'. People who were accused of being a class enemy were sent to institutions, prisons, gulags or just had an 'accident'.
Pol Pot killed 1/3 of his country's population... Mao is however in total numbers on the top. If those three are taken together, we are in fact approaching the 100 million, perhaps even surpassing it. It was not just from war, but for political reasons. People who didn't fit a certain communist ideal were removed, forgotten, killed and replaced.
And strictly speaking communism is left, so blaming it on leftists isn't wrong.
