You mean it’s not like medal of honour?
If I’m about to get killed on that I can turn off and start again.

Ahem.
Back on topic, one of the leading lights in the study of democide (i.e. people murdered by their own governments) has a very interesting, although hard to navigate website: http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/welcome.html
In summary, war has killed fewer than democide (this was a surprise to him when he studied it), and totalitarian regimes have killed far fewer than democratic ones. Democracies also embark on fewer agressive wars.
Interesting figures:
Your first slide doesn’t show that.
It says democratic democide is low, totalitarian is middle and “others” is the highest.
What is “others”?
1st slide appears to be a cumulative graph, not 3 superposed graphs. I assume that “other” was put at the top for clarity.
“Other” would be “authoritarian but not totalitarian”. Thus the proportions on slide 1 would tally with the proportions on slide 2.
Dont you mean that totalitarians have killed more than democracies? I mean Uncle Joe and his Cousin Adolf ‘offed’ more people than anyone else in history.
