If you're talking about genocide proportional to population size, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge killed approximately a third of the Cambodian population.

an identical thread popped up a while ago. they never reach any conclusion. its always just 50 pages of arguing
Tactical Nuke:
the more I think about it communism is worse because national socialists embrace the label of national socialistsm yet communists will always turn around and say "that wasn't real communism" which is a good way of saying "if I were in charge I would've implemented it perfectly" which gives communism a lot more lifetime than national socialistsm which everyone universally agrees is bad
