does the black book of communism count people dying a century before the prc existed in a rebellion against imperialism as victims of communism

I would rather use sandpaper to wipe my ass than the black book

    The funny thing is the Wikipedia article for the black book of communism says it's not a trustworthy source.

    It's like how the article for Human rights in the Soviet Union heavily cites Richard Pipes, a man whose own Wikipedia article says was an anticommunist who worked for a CIA division especially created to push a more aggressive stance against the Soviet Union, and wrote shitty books on Russian history that other historians don't take seriously.

      Also a ton of things cite documents on the Russian Civil War written by White Generals (ie, Denikin).
