I am aware. Those cases number in what - single digits?! Statistically speaking I am much more likely to die of the flu.

However, communist governments have done that to millions. If you don't see the difference, I suggest you reexamine your principles.

You framed the question. Don't push the goal posts around by pointing to past autocracies. It might be a very small risk, but it is infinitely bigger than the risk from my own govenment - where the risk is zero.

There are current autocracies too, not only past ones. Also communist, of course.

And I was talking about my government, not yours.

Single digits is still single digits too many. Specially if all involved aren't punished by harshest possible means.

Sure. But the original question was: do you think that that should worry regular folks more than the evil and abuse perpetrated by their own government?
