From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mass killings under Communist regimes refers to the use of large scale mass killing, carried out by a few communist regimes (notably the Soviet Union under Stalin, the Chinese cultural revolution, and the rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the name of utopian social engineering. The extent to which these killings can be attributed to the ideological commitment of the governments (and thereby be a product of a certain kind of communism) is in dispute.
