Yep yep. I'm not sure what point you're driving at, but yes, Stalin and Mao were the biggest killers around.
Part of that, of course, is because they were in charge of very populous nations. If China's population was ten times lower, then Mao probably would have killed ten times fewer people. I'm not so sure that Mao was any more "evil" than, say, Pol Pot. He just had more people under his rule.

Was Stalin really a jew? Because he was being trained as a Priest at one point in the Orthodox church.
The Communists were monsters. Totalitarianism and Communism are almost like brothers, the one needs the other. The Communist regime cannot work without a powerful central authority to govern and condemn anyone who gets in the way. Hence Communism needs Mao, Stalin, Pol pots, and other sinister ones.

Stalin was not a Jew, nor was Lenin or Mao, Trotsky was though. yes Stalin,Mao and Lenin too were all the instigators of almost unprecedented mass murder, but i think up to 200 million people were killed in an earlier civil war in china. started by a man who claimed to be jesus's brother. if you read a book called 'a peoples tragedy' by orlando figges, you will see that Lenin and Stalin had all the real communists killed of pretty quickly,as they tried to prevent the Bolsheviks coming to power. the mensheviks believed communism can only work with the informed consent of the majority, this is what Marx believed as well, read his books.

You forgot Pol Pot of Cambodia. They are still finding bodies of the people he had killed in the 1970s.
Although communists are on the far left, don't forget the far-right-fascists of WWII - Hitler alone killed millions. So did the Pinochet in Argentina, Musolini (sp) in Italy, and others in Latin America. So I'd say the fascists have given the communists a run for thier money.

Exactly how many people did the Christians slaughter during the Crusades and the Inquisition. And, yes, it was a mere 12 million that were systematically transported to ovens in Germany. Perhaps you should look at your own history before judging others.

The belief that communism would actually work is 100% faith based. There's no proof. It's just another religion.

Given the civilian death toll of 110 per day in the Iraq we are "liberating",I would say the question is runoff of your ignoring the atrocious policies of the Bush Administration.
