Socialists and Communists sure like to kill people. I thought the politcal left was supposed to be warm and fuzzy?

 

 hmm... but the person at the top of the list was anti-communist. See how it doesn't work like that. Mao and Stalin were extreme fascists, thats whats to blame. Anyone with extreme views is more likely to be a danger to the people. 

 

 Nazi =  Nationailist Socialist

I think Hitler was more anti Stalin then anti-communist. He didn't invade Russia out of the goodness of his heart to liberate them from communism.

I don't think Hitler had any actual personal grief with Stalin (No more than he had with everybody else), their 'rivalry' was mainly used for propaganda on either side. It also explains why the battle for Stalingrad was so fierce...

He invaded the soviet union for the same rerason he invaded poland, Lebensraum. Thats the one thing he wanted to achive for his Aryans. The world domination idea is and was just silly. Had the germans captured soviet territory upto the Urals i believe they would have sued for peace. Which would still be their current border, plus a few 'satelites' and vassals...
