> Facism and national socialism killed hundreds of millions

Exaggerate much?

Nazi Germany didn't kill a hundred million, let alone hundreds of millions and Franco's Spain, Chile, and the rest weren't a significant fraction of the German total.



This first random internet page I found puts Stalin at 20M killed and Mao at 40M.

So are you willing to settle for 10's of millions?


> So are you willing to settle for 10's of millions?

I thought that the original claim was suggesting that fascists and fellow travelers were bigger killers than socialists/communists.
