Genocide and ethnic cleansing has never worked, in 100,000+ years. There are numerous resources on this. Have a look.

Worked plenty of times.

Hey, if we can keep trying communism even though it fails repeatedly, why not genocide and ethnic cleansing?

Because they failed?

There's been no properly functioning communist nation, nor decent attempts to develop one. Previous attempts merely resulted in dictatorships or oligarchies.

It's certainly technically feasible to kill let's say 99% of a particular ethnic group world. In fact, if any of the super rich billionaires wanted to fund it, it would even be possible for a private organization to do so.

That's false, and even if it were possible, it's not why this kind of thing fails. It fails because there are other serious costs associated with genocides. We've seen how this has developed historically.
