wait-a-minute, I thought Hitler was supposed to be the baddest. (Someone's good with spin.)

About sixty million less than Stalin.
I see someone is thinking that communism is good.

Millions. They were terrible men; however, trotsky was not as bad as Lenin, and he is much more of an interesting read. Lenin started the Gulags, which was a precursor to Hitler's concentration camps. It's Millions because, if it were not for Lenin, we wouldn't have had Stalin. So, essentially, Lenin bears that responsibilty too. By the way, Lenin and Trotsky didn' get along until right before the revolution. Stalin eventually had trotsky killed when trotsy was in exile in Mexico...killed by an ice pick to the skull.
Interested in Gulags, read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich or the Gulag Archipelago.

There was a great Marxist called Lenin,
Who did two or three million men in.
That's a lot to have done in,
But where he did one in,
A Marxist called Stalin did ten in.

Not nearly as many as Stalin.
