Those of you who embrace freedom, please help teach the next generation about communism’s horrors. Steer them toward “Communism at ‘Peace’: An Outline of Non-Wartime Communist Atrocities” ( communiststats.com ). Unique demographics are used (e.g., villagers, the religious, homosexuals, landowners, etc.) in a way that personalizes 85 million deaths.. torture.... imprisonments... QUICKLY making them real to even the least engaged adolescents (and as a teacher, I'm very familiar with un-engaged millennials). I've seen and heard these students flinch in repulsion. Your help promulgating this information--particularly to those students who are about to be preyed upon by their professors--would be appreciated more than you know. For the record, this is the same site previously entitled "'Peacetime'" in the Communist States." Thank you, and Godspeed.
Could you post the entire thing for us,please.

Communism IS war. It is class warfare on every level of society, and everyone is a potential military target.
In the 20th Century, more people were killed by Atheists than any other group.
Here is Rummel’s 20th Century Democide leaderboard, which backs up your assertion:

Portland Oregon is the most atheist city in the US.
Hello, Mears! I just wanted to get back with you quickly. I’m somewhat new at this. What do you mean by posting the whole thing? Should I copy and paste the whole outline from the site, or is the link sufficient? Please forgive me for my fogginess!
Thank you for that...it’s great info.
In peaceful rural Poland in the mid-1980s, a great uncle of mine was beaten and murdered — apparently by the secret police because he was a courier for Rural Solidarity. When communists are in power, even an elderly retired farmer may be treated as a mortal threat to the regime.
Yes-—check your mail.
Look what the Khmer Rouge did after they won the war for Cambodia - killed nearly two million of their own people during “peacetime”. Oddly enough, the killing stopped when they were invaded by another communist country (post-war Vietnam); they in turn were invaded by another communist country (Red China) as retribution...
I will never forget the apathy displayed when that genocide happened.
I was very young at the time; was the world aware of it? I thought Vietnam invaded when bodies were floating downriver into Vietnam (which was four years into the killings).
The blood lust craziness of that episode is astonishing. Cambodia remains a deeply wounded society.
The man in “The Killing Fields” lived it. He actually did walk out through skeletons of his countrymen.
Thanks. I’m very familiar with what happened, but I don’t know how much the world knew about it in 1976 or 1977, for example. With the Rwanda genocide, the world knew and did nothing. I thought the Khmer Rouge were much more secretive; reporters going in to get info on them and the new Kampuchea routinely disappeared (so I assumed little got out about it).
Absolutely crazy - and a complete vindication of those pushing the “domino theory”.
I’ve read the book and seen the movie; Dith Pran was lucky to survive. In the movie, there seems to be rumors leaking out to the West but nobody seems certain as to what is happening (though it became clear when the Khmer Rouge was forced out in 1979).
