Who is/was worst Commie? [Poll]

[Glassfan]

The White terror was certainly bad, but it is nothing compared to Collectivisation under Stalin.

Wiener Schnitzel? My best friend who's a chef said he invented that too.

Wiener Schnitzel is not sausage.

Stalin pales in comparison compared to the Nazi's and Hitler and associated cronies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nazi_war_crimes

Yes, often cruddy, but without the evil communist suppression. Did the Romanovs ever have anything approaching the Stalinist terror?

Is that what really effected the majority of the population, though? You said yourself, it wasn't merely the "mass-murder sweepstakes", but the crushing brutality of everyday life, something which was, in Russia at least, altogether more pronounced before the Revolution. At the very, very least, the Bolsheviks put a stop to the anti-Semitism so adored by the Tsarists- anti-Semitism which claimed two hundred and fifty thousand lives in the pogroms of 1917-1921- and that ain't nothing.

Have the Koreans ever been as badly off as under the Kims?

Oh, that's not fair. Everyone knows Glorious Leader is exceptional in his utter incompetence.

North Korea was actually doing well, with GDP per capita and life expectancy on par with South Korea and doing better than most Third World nations until the mid-1970s. And it went downhill from there.

None.
You can judge political results, but you can't really judge a person on how much he respected a not well identified concept.

Marx, because he started it, but didn't do a good enough job to give a proper road map to his followers.

looks like a statement from a neapolitan. OTHERS, typically the government, are responsible for everything we do badly, because these others didn't do it for us. You see how good this mentality has done for Naples.

Mao. Must have killed more people than Stalin and didn't understand that you can't just suddenly shift from an agrarian society to an industrial one. The community smelters not only produced extremely poor quality steel but also took labor away from farming. Although to his credit, he did set industrialization in motion in China that ultimately made it the powerful country it is today.
