::::Black Book of Communism: 1.5 million worked to death and 3 million starved to death. These figures are more likely. Based on range, an average of 1,750,000 died in Korean war.

Communist Cuba: 116,730-119,730 killed. See: http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat6.htm#Cuba59
Communist Zimbabwe: 4,500,000 killed, and still counting. (Range: 3-6 million): http://www.zimbabwejournalists.com/story.php?art_id=1554&cat=3 This would suggest that Mugabe has killed 32% of all Zimbabweans and is a worse mass murderer than even Pol Pot.
Communist Ethiopia: 1,250,000 killed (source: New York Times, December 14, 1994). Ethipia 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,
:::::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.
