CCP: Mao Zedong Killed between 750,000 and 1.5 million civilians, with ongoing present day genocide of the Uyghurs.
This article, while interesting, does not provide the numbers of deaths:

Stalin is estimated to have kiilled between 10 and 50 million civilians. One million of those were simply executed, and the rest died due to forced labor, famine, massacres, deportation, and detention and interrogation.
Pol Pot killed approximately one million people.
North Korea:
"From 1948 through 1987 the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was ruled by Kim Il-sung, an absolute communist dictator who has turned his country into an Orwellian state. People were so tightly controlled in all their activities, and those visitors that were allowed in were so managed, that comparatively little independent information about the regime's purges, executions, and concentration and forced labor camps filtered out of the country. Nonetheless, through defectors, escapees, agents, Korean War refugees, and analyses of Korean publications and documents, a hazy picture emerges of systematic democide little different than that carried out in the first decades of the Soviet Union or early communist China.
Perhaps from 710,000 to slightly over 3,500,000 people have been murdered, with a mid-estimate of almost 1,600,000. But these figures are little more than educated guesses."

Erring on the high side of the estimate, perhaps 6 million civilians in were killed by the communists. That is NOT counting the Vietnam war, which was funded and inspired by the communists.
Hitler, however, wins hands down...even though he was a fascist dictator and not a communist. He was responsible for the deaths of 70 to 85 million people during the holocaust.
