“Rudolph Joseph Rummel
(October 21, 1932 – March 2, 2014[1]) was professor emeritus of political
science at the University of Hawaii. He spent his career
studying data on collective violence and war with a view toward helping their
resolution or elimination. Rummel coined the term democide for murder by government (compare genocide),
such as the Stalinist purges and Mao's Cultural Revolution.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Rummel
