Both of those numbers were people that were genocided. Not victims of war. Socialism and communism have never been implemented successfully in any country so what makes you think it will work again in America.

It is scary how little you know about history. Seriously, I don't know where are you getting your information from, but I can tell you for sure that you are misinformed. As an example I'll tell you that in Yugoslavia for example there was an order where for every dead German solder they would execute 100 locals and for every wounded solder they would execute 50 locals. This rule was in effect for years! At one point they were running out of civilians so they executed entire high school in city of Kragujevac, Serbia. They were all victims of war. In total 500 000 or roughly about 4% of entire population of Yugoslavia died during WWII.
