Oh come on.

The Communists were NOT more bloodthirsty than the Nazis. Normalize the numbers for the number of people who lived under the Communists & the Nazis, and for the period of time Communists and Nazis were in power. Taking that into account, considering that the Nazis were in power for 12 years, and held sway over far fewer people than the Communists ever did, the Nazis were easily more prodigious killers than the Communists. Didn't Churchill say something like: "I would align myself with the Devil to drive Hitler out of hell"?

And, frankly, it doesn't matter. Together, Nazism and Communism comprised the most hideous evils our world has ever seen.

I accept your arguments Guynemer - under your conditions.

One could always say "considering this and this" and make a whole list and finally end up getting a totally different conclusion.

Well I think its been covered that the Third Reich is the "Great Satan" so far....

As for communism, I find it rather interesting that western civ has demonized it. Ideal communism is supposed to be about the people. The people are to benefit from communism but unfortunately it (communist ideals) were warped into something totally unintended.

Ideal communism is supposed to be the utopian society...everyone is safe and has work and a home. But, as stated above, the reality of it all is very distorted.
