Would you be able to kill mass amounts of people as part of a death squad if there were no consequences?

It really depends, there's not enough information here.

You have been invited for drinks at the house of a government official during a war against communism. On his deck a man is tied to a supporting beam. The government official says he was gonna kill this guy (since he is a communist) but you could if you like. The question is pretty simple: do your morals prohibit you from killing this man? You will gain favor with the government official, so you will be more rewarded than punished. Then, could you do that on a larger scale?

That specific situation you mentioned, sure, of course, only upsides, no downsides.
You can't just say "on a larger scale", I mean, if it's the same exact situation but instead of one person it's a thousand, or even a million, sure, same deal.

I'll Consider to Chase Them Away :)

I don't trust government, government lies. I would not kill this guy because the government called him communist, no way.

Would you be able is not the right question, would you? Yeah like 7 out of the 8bn worthless trash on this fucking planet

If I were paid enough, maybe. Depends on what I'm supplied with.
