Theodor Abel defined the word Democide. Democide(people being killed by the own goverment) has even passed War as leading cause of non natural death in the 20th century.According to Rummel more than 250 mio people were killed by the own goverment in the last century(there is a nice wikipedia article) but the lemmings are still kissing the boots of the goverments. Seems some will never learn and believe every stupid excuse they are given by their favourite goverment/corporation and the story will repeat again and again and again. |
Would it stilll be called democide in a country with a dictatorship? Like Syria's government has killed 10's of thousands over the view years but it is still a dictatorship. I know this is a daft question but just wondering as i have never heard of the word.
But that number killed by the state is pretty crazy and to think how many were killed in the Soviet Union and China alone. Does that number include every war that happened in the 20th century?
