No greater scourge has reigned upon humanity during the 20th century than the primitive superstitions of the hostile foreign ideology that marches under the inapt misnomer of "socialism".
With its ongoing war against Christianity, against the family, and against private property, socialism's barbarous march of mayhem and murder wreaked unfathomable havoc upon 20th century civilization.
An estimated human tally for the reign of collectivist destruction has been published by the late R. J. Rummel of the University of Hawaii and is included within the table below. The source of the figures in Table 1 is the website here.
