You mean ideologies don’t actually murder people?

Some do, obviously.


Facism as an ideology at its heart had a whole make an enemy of the people so that you can rally people to the cause. pretty much 100% of facist governments were oppressive and murderous.



In terms of communism, its more then likely that a command based ideology is going to lead to killing, it shows up The Soviet Union across multiple leaders, China to this day, Cuba, and a lot of other communist regimes were incredibly murderous. When you put all decisions in the hands of a few, its going to lead to murder.



Religious based theocracies pretty much murder central.


Ideologies can absolutely murder people.
