I highly recommend anyone skeptical of Communism to read Blackshirts and Reds.
Great book and written simply enough that morons can understand it.
Parenti is also just really witty and likeable as a writer too! His speeches are also excellent.
Yeah Michael Parenti speeches rule.

Communism doesn’t kill people
Dictators and their soldiers do
That “even if true” part undercuts the entire first part. Use a provable statistic and find a counter to it. Having a defined number for communism and nothing for fascism makes this feel like fascist propaganda to discredit communists. Capitalists will point to memes like this to show how dumb the community is when only the tin foil tankies actually subscribe to such poorly worded tripe.
I’d really like a source for the “200 million per decade” number, the closest I’m aware of is this catalog of US atrocities but that’s both a wider and narrower subject than this one, not directly comparable.
