Oh yes, I've heard of this book. One thing to keep in mind is that many of these regimes were communist in name only. When we allow the capitalist oppressor to define us, we have already lost.

Has anyone heard about the black book of communism? It was published originally in French but now that it is in English it's used as a bible by the capitalists who are still happy with world exploitation.
What is ignored though is that.
1) 2 of the books' contributers publicly distanced themselves from the main editor because they didn't agree with what he was saying.
2) Several key facts are ignored such as the US backing Guerrillas against the government in Nicuragua and backing the Khmer Rouge against the pro-Hanoi government.
3) There is also a book written by another group of french historians called "Le Livre Noir du Capitalisme" which cataloges the crimes of Capitalism
Excluding the book I have done a spreadsheet calculation to show that since 1970 when the African famine Began 78 million humans have lost their lives in oly 30 years (This famine is caused because they are too busy growing cash crops at prices we like). The book claims that in 73 years Communism has killed 100 million yet from my calculation capitalism can surpass the figure of death caused by famine alone in less than 50 years.
And what does "Le Livre Noir du Capitalisme" say, well it can point the deaths of upto 300 million people of capitalism, a figure that dwarfs that of communism.

Economists have provided capitalists with a comforting concept called the "free market." It does not describe any part of reality, at any place or time. It's a mantra conveniently invoked when it is proposed that government do something the faithful don't like, and just as conveniently ignored whenever they want government to do something for them.
I know, I'm writing a page on my website "Why Stalin and Mao were Nazis"
It's simple really it just shows what marxist theory says and what Stalin and Mao did (which is different.) Then Examines Their policies The improved the Army "Nationalist" He improved Industry "Socialist" and he said he was doing it for the workers "Workers" Therefore "National Socialist Workers Party" eg Nazis but without mentioning Germany.
