Who was the worst ever communist: Karl Marx, Stalin or Hitler?

Answer 1

Hitler was no communist - he hated communism.

Stalin was worst, because he took a theory (Marx's) and twisted it and used it as justification to create a totalitarian regime that bastardized the theory and enriched a small group of followers at the expense of the freedom and human rights of his people.

Answer 2

First off, Hitler wasn't a communist. He was a national socialist. Secondly, Joseph Stalin is by far the worst Communist ever. Karl Marx was simply a thinker who wrote about how to make society better and more equal for everyone; he never killed anybody. Stalin used Communism as a tool to gain power. He killed LOTS of people.

Answer 3

Hitler WASN'T a Communist, he was a SOCIALIST. There is a difference. Communists believe that everyone should be equal and all should be shared. Socialists believe that the Govt should control everything. People confuse it all because there is no real Communism, so people forget that Karl Marx and Peter Engles defined it different then the people who made it big. Of those Marx would likely be the worst, simply because the Stalin was more of a Socialist and Hitler was a Socialist. The Nazis were the National Socialist Party.

Answer 4

I think Stalin. He killer 60 million people during his life. And most interesting thing he was from Georgia. It was a part of Russia at that time.
Hitler, well you could say that he was communist because he was leader of National Socialist German Workers Party. Many would disagree even Hitler him self.
Karl Marx was a man with a vision. I don't like his vision. He sad that all women that are in marriage are explicit private property. In comm. is no private property and by that he meant that women are property of everybody.

Answer 5

Marx by theory was the better of the two because hitler was a Fascist which was anti communist in belief. Stalin was the worst here because of his method of ruling his idiosyncracies, the great Purge of generals who were probably more competent than him and he desired no competition for power in the slightest. He was brutal ruler who was paranoid which made matters worse for the people.

Answer 6

Since Marx wasn't a Communist (it was extrapolated from his theories), and Hitler was a Nazi, I guess that leaves Stalin as the last man standing.

Answer 7

Communism as originally formulated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels was intended to liberate the working masses; the rhetoric of the doctrine has only been used to enslave and murder. First a reaction to the conditions of the industrial proletariat in mid-19th-century England, the bastardisation of the theory is shown by its usurpation by megalomaniac revolutionaries intent on dominating peasant-agrarian societies such as Russia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, and Nicaragua. In these societies, the centralisation of production under the banner of communistic collectivisation and co-operation led to massive, violent disruption of traditional systems of societal organisation, often accompanied by widespread disease and famine, which was used by the ruling elite as terroristic means of polulation control. Stalin, with Mao and Pol Pot close behind, were self-proclaimed "communists" who wielded enormous power through enslaving, terrorising, and brainwashing their own populations, exterminating large segments thereof in the process.
Regarding Hitler, on the other hand, the "socialist" element of National Socialism was largely expunged after the 1934 purge of Ernst Rohm and Gregor Strasser, respectively the paramilitary and political threats to Hitler's sole authority within the party=state. Originally useful to rally the working classes away from the enticements of the center-left Social Democrats and the left-wing communists, the socialist aspect of National Socialism came to mean nothing more than state control over every facet of the life of the people - yet despite this, business and industry within Nazi Germany was allowed to function very capitalistically, as long as they worked in lockstep with the regime and paid lip-service to its racist ideology.
As a form of Fascism, National Socialism emphasised the overriding importance of the nation, the people, the race, as against its enemies in the form of foreign nations and peoples, whereas communism and its next of kin socialism, have always claimed international class-unity against the mutual interests of multi-national capital. Ironically and tragically, both Nazism and communism blame so-called "international Jewry", often given the thinly-veiled euphemism "international banking", for all the world's woes, Nazis equating Jews as a race with communists as a world-movement, whilst communists have seen Nazism as the ultimate manifestation of the murderous nature of unrestrained capital, however implausibly underwritten by the Jews themselves.

Answer 8

Seein as how he wasn't a communist and was, in fact, ideologically opposed t communism, i guess that makes him the 'worst communist ever."
