Right wing governments have been pretty good at slaughtering people too.
The Nazis were responsible for the killing at least 6 million Jews,
Gypsies homosexuals, intellects and others who they considered to be
undesirable. They also killed millions in combat.The Japanese
slaughtered roughly 300,000 in Nanking alone. Nationalist Chinese
killed more than a million soldiers and another million civilians during
the civil war. In Spain there were about 5 times as many Communists
killed than right wingers. About 140,000 Spanish "disappeared" after
their civil war. There were as many as a million leftists killed in
Indonesia. Hundreds of thousands have been killed in central and south
America.

You may or may not be right about the 100 million killed by communist
regimes. They may or may not have killed more people than the right
wingers. They left may have killed more people than the right, but
neither side holds a monopoly.
