True, it wouldn't show that "purging" is inherent to communism. But it might be good reason to think that "purging" is more closely associated with communism (or communist regimes) than with fascism (or fascist regimes).

That only changes the unit of "frequency" or "proclivity" being applied. It doesn't change my argument--it just changes how you'd need to measure 'frequency' or 'proclivity', not what the result of the findings could possibly show.
