I don't even know the historical premise of the movie, I just thought this was hilarious.

      I think the 100 million is the number of dead the black book of communism says can be attributed to communism worldwide.

        The Balck Book did not even manage to get to that number. It's quite literally a random number that just looks neat next to "100 years".

          The book estimated 94 million which people often round up to 100 million.

            If it one is going to tout a fake number, why stop there? Just say a billion, it doesn't fucking matter.

    looking at the numbers of 100milllion fatalities in 100years ...

    I guess those 25000 fatalities per day only by not enough food are mostly capitalism ripping off other nations resources worldwide, overfishing a.s.o., right? https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/losing-25000-hunger-every-day

    Well for 25000 a day, 100 million is ... like 4000 days, which is roughly 11 years only by intentionally exhaustively wrong distribution of resources. that of course excludes the death due to insecure working conditions, food poisoning, lack of medical treatment, accidents due to child labour, death due to environment poisoning, the extra wars only fought for oil, extra wars only fought to get rid of old and outdated ammunition a.s.o.

    that is, until proven otherwise i'll consider that movie possible pro communist propaganda.
