Official slavery is not acceptable by anyone. With the passing of communism into history as an ideological alternative to democracy and its resurgence under the present Xi regime it is time to do some recounting of its human costs.

Few would deny that communism--Marxism-Leninism and its variants of socialism, meant in practice bloody terrorism, deadly purges, lethal gulags and forced labor, fatal deportations, man-made famines, extrajudicial executions and show trials, and genocide.
It is also widely known that as a result millions of innocent people have been murdered in cold blood. Yet there has been virtually no concentrated statistical work on what this total might be.
