Rummel estimates the total democide by Communist Vietnam as approaching 1.8 million, with nearly 800,000 North Vietnamese slaughtered by the state.  Of that 1,000,000 figure; only about half a million were killed in South Vietnam, the rest in Laos and Cambodia ''by'' Vietnam (i.e., Rummel blames Vietnam for 2/3 of the deaths under Samrin's regime in Cambodia, because they installed him).  However, that figure does not include war-related deaths or the boat people.  Rummel estimates that roughly 500,000 boat people died from all of Indochina, with 1/2 of those being counted as democidal.  Adding them in, roughly a million were killed in South Vietnam.  If we were to take Rummel's numbers, only 150,000 were killed in the renewed Communist offensive from 75 on (see here: http://www.mega.nu/ampp/rummel/dbg.tab11.2.gif).

On Cambodia, at least 1.1 million were executed and 1-2 million worked or starved to death by the Khmer Rouge (we know because we've counted 1.1 million bodies identified as "victims of execution").  Although some believe that executions alone could have reached 1.5 million, the 1.39 million figure comes from Wikipedia.  Because the Documentation Center of Cambodia is still conducting studies, I assumed that the 1.39 million figure was a revised execution estimate.  However, I've been unable to assess the veracity of the claim, and I'm not sure were the number comes from (Wikipedia has no source).[[User: JakeRMurrin]]
