Respond to The World’s worst Genocides are under Communism* - communism is our worst scourge! - 1. *Mao Zedong’s Regime (1949-1976) – Throughout his rule of Communist China, Mao Zedong terminated anywhere between 40 million and 70 million people, a number equivalent to the entire population of the United Kingdom. Mao’s atrocities came in two waves: “The Great Lead Forward” and the “Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.” The “Leap” was Zedong’s agricultural development plan, which ended up starving more than 30 million farmers to death; the “Cultural Revolution” was a purge of “anti-government elements” and sent many to their death in prison camps. 2. *Stalin’s Communist Regim e (1929-1953) – Though a lesser-known evil, the horror committed under Joseph Stalin’s rule of the Soviet Union claimed between 23 and 50 million lives. Examples of Stalin’s murderous outbreaks include the Great Purge, which targeted political dissernters, and the Ukrainian Famine, a forcibly induced mass starvation that committed entire Ukrainian populations to a slow death. 3. The Holocaust (1939-1945) – The most well-known and meticulously documented genocide in history, the Holocaust was Adolph Hitler’s attempt to exterminate all “undesirables” from his Third Reich. The murderous effort spanned over 35 European countries throughout World War II. The Holocaust is responsible for the lives of more than six million Jews, Roma, Slavs, homosexuals, the physically disabled, and religious dissenters. 4. *Khmer Rouge Killing Fields in Cambodia (1976-1980) – The Khmer Rouge took over the Cambodian government in 1976 under Pol Pot’s Communist Regime. Declaring a new era of a peasant-oriented society, the Khmer Rouge evacuated Cambodian cities and “forced these residents to labor without adequate food or rest.” Those who could not keep up with the demands were often executed. In these ‘killing fields,’ the Khmer Rouge killed between 1.7 and 2 million Cambodians. 5. Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) – Under the stalwart rule of Enver Pasha, between 1 and 1.8 million ethnic Armenians and other non-Turks were massacred, deported, or starved to death in the Ottoman Empire during and at the end of World War I. Turks have explained it as an attempt to rid the empire of any people who associated with the Russians. The mass extermination is considered the first large-scale, orchestrated genocide of the 20th century. 6. Rwandan Massacre (1994) – Civil war broke out in Rwanda in 1990, a result of deep-seated ethnic conflict and corrupt political schemes. The sudden death of Rwandan President Habyarimana ignited the spark for the Hutu majority to lash out against the Tutsi minority. “Extremist Hutu groups,” states EndGeonocide.org, “killed between 800,000 and 1 million people across the country in only 100 days,” making it one of the highest-volume genocides in history.borgenmagazine.com
