The Black Book of Communism is not propaganda and even if you are much more conservative in the bodycount estimates you get to 85 to 90 million.

Of course, someone who never read it but identifies as a communist would discount it because it threatens their chosen worldview.

And before TC lies about the main author making up the numbers and being "discredited" by the other authors, the other authors believed the 100 milljon bodycount was exaggerated and that it was closer to 90 million.

Still a catastrophic number for such a short time from an ideology that was supposedly going to usher in utopia.
