That explains the bartending bit above : I thought you were being provocative but you were just being simplistic. Counting the number of dead people does not explain anything. Did people die because of poor politics/administration that ended in a famine? Because they were in the middle of a conflict? Because somebody wanted to exploit their workforce? Were they sent to death directly? I think it actually matters. No nation or ideology has a monopoly on colonialism, slavery, child labor, massacres and other monstrosities. You seem to have very clear cut categories : The communists, The nazis, The adults. Although they must be quite comforting, I don't think they work very well.
