Most of the deaths attributed to Chairperson Máo are hypothetical babies who were ‘supposed’ to be born, then you have to somehow prove that Beijing was, at minimum, criminally negligent during the difficult period if you want to blame the Chinese communists for a few million civilian deaths, and then you have to prove that the Chinese communists deserve no credit whatsoever—none—for the PRC’s massive increase in the birthrate. (If the communists can be credited with massacring millions of innocents, it would be no less fair to credit them with procreating and rescuing millions as well.) As for the deaths attributed to General Secretary J. Stalin, see here.

Now concerning Adolf Schicklgruber, the number of seventeen million is clearly an underestimate, because the reinvasion of Soviet Eurasia cost the Soviets more than twenty‐six million lives (though it could arguably even be as high as forty‐two million). The best explanation that I can give for the author’s underestimate is that they only counted civilians massacred outside of direct warfare, but this criterion is unjustified: warfare was integral to Fascism, just as it is to capitalism in general when it needs to expand.

Tellingly, Benito Mussolini is completely absent from this propaganda. I can understand antisocialists being too cowardly to include figures like Chiang Kai‐shek, Harry S. Truman, and Winston Churchill, but all that they really do is further demonstrate the fraudulence of their ‘antifascist’ pretensions by excluding an example as obvious as that. Word of advice: don’t go to antisocialists when you want to study Fascism; go to me instead.
