FWIW, the late RJ Rummell credited the PRC(Mao Tse Tung et al.) with 76.7 million murders, USSR (Lenin, Stalin, et al.) with 61.9 million murders, and the Third Reich (Hitler) with 20.9 million murders.
His exhaustive study of genocide and democide is well worth reading and understanding. Most of what is considered ‘knowledge’ on the topic in popular culture is inadequate, inaccurate, and incomplete.

I had not realized Rummell had died.
To put a finer pint on it, these are deaths performed by the governments ON THEIR OWN CITIZENS AND SUBJECTS.
Three or four years ago, IIRC. The world would be a poorer place without his having been in it. He was a true rarity: an honest researcher in the field of Political Science.
