stalin death toll.
incompitance during early barbarossa: 2 million
gulags and political enimies: 0,5 mil
and ppl killed for the good: He derogatorily referred to farmers who refused his reforms as "kulaks", a class of rich peasant which had in actual fact been wiped out by World War I; millions were killed, exiled to Siberia, or died of starvation after their land, homes, meager possessions, and ability to earn an existence from the land were taken to fulfill Stalin's vision of massive "factory farms".[4] While the Soviet Union transformed from an agrarian economy to a major industrial powerhouse in a short span of time, millions of people died from hardships and famine that occurred as a result of the severe economic upheaval and party policies.[5][6][7]
: 2 million
fanime:
The death toll from famine in the Soviet Union at this time is estimated at between five and ten million people.
so about 5-10
we get a total of 9,5-14,5 mil not pretty numbers.
------------------------------------------
ok hitler if we talk genocide then 15-20 mil if we talk executed POW and the pwning of the soviet army we go above 30 mil.
-----------------------------------------
mao probably gonna top them both
ok
opening:
However, many of Mao's socio-political programs such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution are blamed by critics from both within and outside China for causing severe damage to the culture, society, economy and foreign relations of China, as well as a probable death toll in the tens of millions.[3][4][5]
insanaty:
In Jiangxi, Mao's authoritative domination, especially that of the military force, was challenged by the Jiangxi branch of the CPC and military officers. Mao's opponents, among whom the most prominent was Li Wenlin, the founder of the CPC's branch and Red Army in Jiangxi, were against Mao's land policies and proposals to reform the local party branch and army leadership. Mao reacted first by accusing the opponents of opportunism and kulakism and then set off a series of systematic suppressions of them.[15] It is reported that horrible forms of torture and killing took place. Jung Chang and Jon Halliday claim that victims were subjected to a red-hot gun-rod being rammed into the anus, and that there were many cases of cutting open the stomach and scooping out the heart.[16] The estimated number of the victims amounted to several thousands and could be as high as 186,000.[17] Critics accuse Mao's authority in Jiangxi was secured and reassured through the revolutionary terrorism, or red terrorism.
about 50,000
n othere suff:
Mao’s first political campaigns after founding the People’s Republic were land reform and the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, which centered on mass executions, often before organized crowds. These campaigns of mass repression targeted former KMT officials, businessmen, former employees of Western companies, intellectuals whose loyalty was suspect, and significant numbers of rural gentry.[21] The U.S. State department in 1976 estimated that there may have been a million killed in the land reform, 800,000 killed in the counterrevolutionary campaign.[22] Mao himself claimed a total of 700,000 killed during the years 1949–53.[23] However, because there was a policy to select "at least one landlord, and usually several, in virtually every village for public execution",[24] 1 million deaths seems to be an absolute minimum, and many authors agree on a figure of between 2 million and 5 million dead.[25][26] In addition, at least 1.5 million people were sent to "reform through labour" camps.[27] Mao’s personal role in ordering mass executions is undeniable.[28][29] He defended these killings as necessary for the securing of power.[30]
ca. 2-5 mil
moar "powere securing":
Programs pursued during this time include the Hundred Flowers Campaign, in which Mao indicated his supposed willingness to consider different opinions about how China should be governed. Given the freedom to express themselves, liberal and intellectual Chinese began opposing the Communist Party and questioning its leadership. This was initially tolerated and encouraged. After a few months, Mao's government reversed its policy and persecuted those, totalling perhaps 500,000, who criticized, and were merely alleged to have criticized, the Party in what is called the Anti-Rightist Movement.
0.5 mil
fanime:
The net result, which was compounded in some areas by drought and in others by floods, was that the rural peasants were not left enough to eat and many millions starved to death in what is thought to be the largest famine in human history. This famine was a direct cause of the death of tens of millions of Chinese peasants between 1959 and 1962. Further, many children who became emaciated and malnourished during years of hardship and struggle for survival, died shortly after the Great Leap Forward came to an end in 1962 (Spence, 553).
Nevertheless, Banister concluded that the official data implied that around 15 million excess deaths incurred in China during 1958-61 and that based on her modelling of Chinese demographics during the period and taking account of assumed underreporting during the famine years, the figure was around 30 million. The official statistic is 20 million deaths, as given by Hu Yaobang.[3] Various other sources have put the figure between 20 and 72 million.[32]
so 20-55 mil (72 is definitly an exxageration)
cultual killins as I call them:
It is estimated that hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, perished in the violence of the Cultural Revolution
and what mao said:
don't attempt to save them! . . . China is such a populous nation, it is not as if we cannot do without a few people."[34]
about 350,000-1,5 mil
so lol mao pwns with min: 22,900,000
and max: 62,100,000
probably 40,000,000
I took LOWS in all three so no "that's such an exageration" I was suprised my the huge number mao may have killed and stalin hitler is much harder to do becuse I mean it depends on your definition of killing.
