In fact, the late Dr. RJ Rummel of Univ. of Hawaii noted in his Death by Government site that up to 170 million were murdered by their own governments last century. Similarly, Courtois, et al. writes in The Black Book of Communism, published by Harvard Univ. Press, that perhaps 100 million were murdered by communist governments last century.

Of course, the Malthusians are doubly wrong, as even the reliably PC Time Magazine told us years ago: …it turns out the world’s population isn’t growing nearly as fast as it once did. In fact, experts say the rate of population growth will continue to slow and that the total population will eventually — likely within our lifetimes — fall.”
