This map misses some red. For instance, Belgium was also targeted with the Brabant killings (don't remember if Killing Hope covers that. It's been so long, I should read it again anyway.)

It's such a long book(> 20 hours), but very good. I only finished it ~ a year ago, and I remember the person who recorded the audiobook said it's been a journey.

I like this version better, thx.

Anytime anyone whines about "commies / tankies", they're entirely complicit with these mass killings.

Communism isn't bad, it just crumples as soon you put anything but saints in charge of it.

I'm not entirely sure anything works better in a long-term scenario though :)

AES leaders have never been "saints," no human has been, but the Socialist systems nevertheless have resulted in robust systems with dramatic improvements in the lives of their people. The PRC is an example, I wouldn't call Xi a perfect saint but the Socialist system itself works well.
