Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mass killings under Communist regimes (3rd nomination)
The  claims above are ''transparently'' baseless, since there is extensive scholarship on the matter. The concept of Communist (more specifically Leninist, Stalinist, Maoist, etc.) nations perpetrating mass killings is hardly a new synthesis. As the article clearly shows, this concept is well established in several parts of the political, cultural, and scholarly mainstream:  there are international resolutions about it; there are an abundance of well-known books on the subject, it is widely taught in schools, and so on. Václav Havel is not a kook or a member of the fringe, after all. The fact that genocides and democides emerged from the Communist movement, a movement which was ''ostensibly'' on the Left and ''ostensibly'' aimed at a classless internationalist society, is one of the big political stories of the early 20th century; it is central to the histories of those nations, of the Cold War, and especially the history of the Left. Wikipedia cannot exactly let it go unreported
