Really should be titled "Leninism's Bloody Century"...or maybe I'm just being pedantic.

  Lenin? Stalin was the killer, and he departed from Lenin's philosophy in several very key ways that break the pedigree you suggest.

    Please, not again. Lenin called for terror to be used, he called for the use of mass executions to speed up the eradication of opposition, he... well, read up on what Lenin wanted. Read the Gulag Archipelago and take good attention of the time line described. Notice that 'comrade Lenin' was the instigator of many of the policies which led to the creation of the Gulag system. While Lenin was not as paranoid as Stalin he was just as ruthless in creating the 'dictatorship of the proletariat'.

    No form of Leninism was anything but a brutal dictatorship. It really wasn't even socialist considering the government didn't represent the workers.
