[ Yes, the leftists are leading in the field of killing, despite their "gentler" philosophies. How can this be? Leftism is based in moral dogma, which rewards the individual with a self-image boost for doing "right" things, including, paradoxically, killing people in the name of defeating that which would kill people - namely, its arch-enemy (no pun intended), fascism. By projecting all evil into this enemy, the leftists delude themselves that their actions are not-evil therefore good, even while shooting aristocrats, hitting girls with bricks and committing slow genocide of European culture. ]

Germany killed 20M people in about a decade - not counting war deaths?
And you believe that?

Not necessarily, but what's more important is the figures that show the leftists leading in random death.
I don't consider individual deaths a measure of a regime's fitness, but it's important in that it shows how leftism encourages a fanatical morality.
Thanks for the comment - I didn't think to mention a disclaimer regarding my own views of postwar anti-German propaganda.
