For tens of thousands? No. That’s the upper end of estimates. For the brutality? Yes. Wikipedia is a good start.

Then you can also fairly say they've killed billions of people - that's the upper end of estimates, could be 1, could be 10, but upper estimate is definitely billions.

Also, please read what I wrote, I meant there is no credible source in this scenario, hence no one should be able to cite anyone's numbers

Two, no known method of estimation produces a reasonable guess at those levels. > there is no credible source in this scenario There are. There aren’t if you assume ex ante they don’t exist, or if you’re committed to ignoring them.
