 |
|
Some song I'm listening to has this lyric:
Had a competition with the USSR
How many million people can we kill inside our
Very own countries. And you know what, China won
30 million people, so much fun.
What event does this refer to? |

A lot of people dies in the Great Leap Forward, but I wouldn't know enough about it to specify an exact number. Pretty tough to top the USSR in terms of body count, though.

100 million Christians killed by USSR, China, and a few others according to one youtube video I saw. I don't know the veracity, but this would help with a ballpark to be distributed anyway.
