Trofim Lysenko Estimated body count 70 million
The vast majority of deaths under communism have been because of famine…
…which may well be true for Capitalism as well.
True but i dont know of one guy who did 70 mil worth under capitalism
Mosquitoes, thanks to Malaria. Estimated kill count (according to a Nature article from 2002) 50-60 Billion people.
Wow. You’re really gonna just blame a whole race over a few billion deaths?
/s please don’t hang me in these streets
More a person responsible kinda thing. I think Mao does top it but due to starvation thanks to his idiot policies that ruined crops
I get the joke but I still expected some tankies to show up. But then again, OP is on lemmy.world which is defederated with the tankie instances so that’s why
why is it defederated
Because of the tankies.
Pretty sure the answer is “the brits”.
Yep, anyone saying otherwise is doing mental gymnastics.
Is it Mr the brits or Mrs the brits?
Ohhhh, you’re conflating a single leader with an entire country.
You must be a lib, tankies say libs never argue in good faith, and your false equivalence is certainly in bad faith.
Noobish kdr. Max 10 millions deaths, somewhere between a French general during WWI (not counting German casualties) and minor paranoid dictators. Too much time larping as a psychopathic torturer, not enough time getting the job done. Mao killed several million people on a good mood, that’s professionalism.
While it has proven difficult to accurately estimate the pre-colonial population and the amount by which it changed under the Congo Free State, estimates for the Congolese population decline during Leopold’s rule range from 1 million to 15 million.
That’s a lot, but not even close to Mao
Dictators and the rich
Ive never heard of anyone with that name
Isn’t it a strange question to ask if you don’t want an offensive answer?
How is that answer offensive??
Idk I thought the lady was angry because she finds it offensive.
She thought the cat just meowed.
She wasn’t offended by the answer. She thought the cat couldn’t talk and was just saying ‘meow’.
Black book of communism nonsense.
I don’t really think Mao’s atrocities are disputed tbh.
I don’t see why you’re so flustered, it wasn’t real communism…
To be fair, many of those deaths were landlords, who dont count as humans.
⬆️ your brain on dialectics
That’s pretty fucked in the head, fam, even if these lists love blaming single communists but it when it comes time to talk about the death tolls of WW1 and 2 it’s always a shared responsibility and contextual.
