Rudolph J. Rummel- What I've learned that is most important is that war, democide, and famine are not matters of psychology, economics, or bad rulers, but a matter of the social structure of society. www.aztagdaily.com /interviews/rummel.htm   (2314 words)

Chain the Killer, by William Norman Grigg Rummel observes that the Bolshevik coup of 1917, which inaugurated the totalitarian era, "was not just a seizure of power and change of leadership but a revolutionary transformation in the very nature and worldview of governance. Rummel, a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, is perhaps the world's foremost authority on the phenomenon of "democide" &; the systematic murder of human beings by governments. Rummel quotes Lenin's description of the theoretical foundation of his terror state: "The scientific concept of dictatorship means nothing else but this — Power without limit, resting directly upon force, restrained by no laws, absolutely unrestrained by rules." It was in Soviet Russia and its kindred despotisms that democide was perfected. www.reformed-theology.org /html/issue07/chain_the_killer.htm   (467 words)

Democratic Peace RJR: Yes, and China has been advertising these body replacement organs in the U.S. Since China is eager to get foreign currency, and it is doing a good business by selling these organs, there is a despicable incentive to increase the production of these organs—that is, the more executions the better. RJR: It has been difficult to get even a modest memorial to the victims of communism, or to persuade the various genocide memorial museums to recognize victims other than the Jews in the Holocaust.

R. J. Rummel. Lethal Politics: Soviet Genocide and Mas... - Russian Bookstore: Travel, History, Language Rummel shows that the Bolsheviks created a police state from the very beginning, provoking hundreds of popular rebellions from the first moment of their coup.

The Straight Dope: Was Andrew Jackson one of the world's biggest mass murderers?? These numbers come from R.J. Rummel, a political scientist at the University of Hawaii who studies mass killing. Rummel's genocide figures are more inclusive than some--in fact, he prefers the term "democide," which he defines as "the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder." Genocide is killing due to ethnicity, religion, or other "indelible group membership," whereas politicide is murder for political reasons. Rummel observes that communist and fascist regimes accounted for 84 percent of democidal deaths during the period studied, leading him to comment, "Power kills, and absolute Power kills absolutely." But democracies aren't innocent. www.straightdope.com /columns/021018.html   (732 words)
