Communist Ethiopia: 1,250,000 killed (source: New York Times, December 14, 1994). Ethiopia relies on aid from the evil white man to feed 14 million of its people today.

Genocidal Afghanistan (78-2001): Approaching 3,000,000 killed,
Genocidal Afghanistan (78-2001): Approaching 3,000,000 killed.
:::::The Soviet invasion and occupation slaughtered 1,750,000 Afghans (from a range of 1.5-2 million killed). See: “Communism in Afghanistan,” in Stephane Courtois, ed., The Black Book of Communism, (Harvard University Press, 1999), p725. This is surely conservative when one considers all those killed by the Afghan Communists from 1978-92. The subsequent civil wars (89-92 and 92-96) resulted in the deaths of another 400,000 Afghans (according to the Christian Science Monitor), with at least 50,000 killed in Kabul alone. The Taliban seized power in 1996, and subsequently slaughtered hundreds of thousands. According to UNICEF figures, in 5 years of Taliban rule, over 600,000 Afghans died just from Taliban restrictions on access to healthcare for women (120,000 per year, and that just on the matter of infant mortality rates). Source: New York Times, February 1, 2002. The Taliban also executed tens of thousands throughout the country, and caused potentially scores of thousands of deaths through refusal to allow foreign aid and through miscellaneous "excess deaths". In all, the Taliban was likely responsible for over 750,000 deaths (150,000 per year) on top of nearly half a million in the civil war.

:::::Few sources even attempt to calculate the excess deaths caused by the Taliban. Meanwhile, wild estimates like 500,000-1,000,000 in the civil war following the Russian withdrawal are regularly bandied about by far-left propagandists. I have no idea what their source is, and there is very little I can find which would support the claim. Deaths from the civil war are usually overestimated; while deaths from the rule of the Taliban tend to be underestimated.

The Vietnamese War-State (1945-1990): 3,000,000 killed (not counting war with France):
::::875,000 N. Vietnamese killed in Communist war of aggression (assuming 60/40 casualty ratio between North and South and using the mid-value of the plausible range, which is 1-2 million in all of Vietnam).
::::625,000 S. Vietnamese killed in Communist war of aggression.
::::500,000 refugees died fleeing Communist oppression and mass expulsions.
::::450,000 N. Vietnamese killed by govt. of North Vietnam.
::::In South Vietnam, the most authoritative study found that at least 70,000 were massacred in the first 90 days of post war reprisals, and the full toll must have surpassed 100,000. Communist official Nguyen Tuong Lai smuggled documents out of Vietnam indicating 200,000 were executed. 200,000 were killed in camps. Millions were sent to work in concentration camps, millions displaced and millions more made to perform slave labor. Tens if not hundreds of thousands have been killed since or have been worked to death or killed through excess means.
::::War crimes include the systematic slaughter of 155,000 South Vietnamese who fled the Highlands offensive in 1975.
