The Freeman: Could you tell us what your research has revealed about government power?

Rummel: Concentrated political power is the most dangerous thing on earth.

During this century's wars, there were some 38 million battle deaths, but almost four times more people--at least 170 million--were killed by governments for ethnic, racial, tribal, religious, or political reasons. I call this phenomenon democide, and it means that authoritarian and totalitarian governments are more deadly than war.
