wasn’t there an org that counted nazi soldiers killed by the red army, as well as aborted babies in socialist countries, as "victims of communism"?

    That would be the Black Book of Communism.

    Yep, was expecting to see the BBoC mentioned.

    Emphasizing the part in that wiki page where they mention two of the co-authors disavowed the book as the main author was apparently 'desperate' to increase the number of counted victims in the ridiculous ways RiverRock mentioned.
