The Horror and Lessons of Communism -- PTS

 Click here, for a fascinating blog by C.J. Rummel, a political scientist of great repute (taught at Yale, among many other "elite" schools).   His subject is demotics or the murder of human beings by oppressive regimes, mostly communist.  This enlightening blog is replete with charts that provide the specific numbers of deaths caused by the various totalitarian regimes over the past century of the experiment with communism.  Mr. Rummel has written extensively on warfare, it's causes, results, and avoidance.  It's no surprise that he offers extensive evidence that democracies rarely, if ever,  attack one another and are, by far, the best antidote to general warfare.  His home page provides access to much of his work over many years in the study of war and it's cause.  Fascinating stuff.
