Tell that to the 60 million people who died in the Holodomor.

Holodomor was the result of several unfortunate events including the Ukranian kulaks burning their produce to protest collectivisation, a natural famine and misjudgement of the State.

If the responsibility of Holodomor lies solely with the USSR, the nexus between the NATO and occupied Palestine are responsible for at least a billion deaths, going by your intellectual honesty standards. I have factored in death due to military interventionism, gun laws, and capitalism related deaths (death from being uninsured, hunger, poverty).

I have no problem with the proposition that the post-ww2 global order is responsible for a billion deaths.
Why not 120 million?

What about the 240 million who died under the tzarist regime?

If you're going to make up nonsense numbers, why stop there?
