The '''Death Toll death toll within totalitarian Communist Statesstates''' such as the [[Soviet Union]], [[People's Republic of China]] and [[Cambodia]], resulting from the implementation of communist [[Communist]] land reforms, political [[violence ]] and repression, has been quite high.
== Soviet Union ==
'''[[Stalin ]] (1924-1953):''' The number of [[Soviet citizens ]] [[citizen]]s killed by the Stalin regime will never be known with accuracy. Believable counts indicate that between 8.5 million and 50 million people died of [[starvation]], political politically-motivated [[murder ]] and in forced [[labor camps. under Stalin'camp]]s rule. The most reliable estimate today is somewhere around 20 million. See also [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]]
== China ==
'''[[Mao ]] (1949-1975):''' About 50 million people died in [[Communist China ]] as a result of ill-planned land reforms, implementation of communist Communist agriculture policies, repression of minorities and political violence under [[Mao Tse TungZedong]]. See also [[Communist Party of China]]
: Early Political Purges and Land Reform: 2 million
: "[[Great Leap Forward]]": 31-33 million: "[[Cultural Revolution]]": 1 million (some estimates go up to 20 million): Ethnic Minorities, including the occupation of [[Tibet]]: 750,000-900,000
: Forced Labor Camps: 20 million
== Cambodia ==
Fair estimates say that about 1.6 million people were killed during the short but incredibly brutal reign of [[Cambodia]]n Communist [[Pol Pot]], between 1975 and 1979. Out of a beginning population of 8 million, this means that about 20% of all Cambodians died from political violence, mass [[execution]]s ([[genocide]]) and state-endorsed starvation during Pol Pot's rule. See [[The Killing Fields]]
