    It also counts lowered birth-rates in wartorn countries as "victims" because by it's reasoning they were potential people that were never born. Also counts soviet deaths at the hands of the Nazis as victims of communism. Also counts deaths of Nazis at the hands of the Soviets as victims of communism (which is true and also cool and good). Nazis killed by the other Allied nations do not count as "victims of capitalism" apparently.

      By these standards, having high birth rates should count as negative deaths right? So basically Niger has mastered the art of necromancy.

      Also counted people deported from the USSR and also literal murdering traitors who were executed

        I'm not sure if the Black Book does but there is a website for the victims of communism that you can search and it does. It's pretty hilarious, too, when you start reading the reports. Like a CIA agent goes to a nation to consult during a communist uprising and gets in a car accident with some random person and dies and it gets blamed on communism.
