Here's a little accounting for the twentieth century that compares death by
one's own government to death by war. The government classification is
provided by Freedom House and the table was compiled by R.J. Rummel, a
professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Twentieth Century Killed, By Cause

These figures do not include 1921-22 Soviet famine which killed 4 million=
and
the 1958-61 Chinese famine which killed 27 million.
The Vietnam war killed about 1.2 million and the victorious communists
celebrated their victory by killing at least 2.2 million of the people they
freed from capitalism.
