Slaughters of Communists?

[Broletariat]

What are some examples of these events in history and the numbers of how many Communists were killed.

I think some happened in Italy and Germany but like, I don't have numbers or specifics or anything.

[Comrade J]

The Soviet Union killed a lot of communists too, whether directly or indirectly.

And you "think" that maybe some communists died in Germany? Political prisoners were the first to be sent to concentration camps under Hitler's Enabling Act, and they were mass-murdered about 7 years after that. I suggest you get some good books or essays on Hitler's domestic policies, or a revisionist book on the Holocaust.

I was 100% positive of it but I kind of wanted people to assume I was completely uninformed so they'd give some back story to it as well, just general stuff. I'm also very interested in the numbers, thanks.

In addition to the above, there were the 4,000 odd workers' massacred during the 1848 June uprising against the French Second Republic.

I don't have exact numbers for this, but A good number of Albanian communists were killed during the 1997 rebellion and the NATO invasion that followed.

Vietnam!

Nearly every country involved in Operation Condor

[Optiow]

After looking through this thread, the biggest one not mentioned here (I believe) was occupied Europe during WW2. Communist partisans from Italy to Russia were killed when defending their homelands from the fascists.
