....I may not be exceptionally boned up on my history but as I recall, instead of murdering his people in concentration camps, Stalin starved them to death, and in doing so, he managed to kill more innocent people than Hitler.
You are right, you do need to study history. Ever hear the term "Gulag"? Stalin put millions into camps as well. Start with "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" by Solzhenitsyn. Or to REALLY get a good idea the "Gulag Archipelago".

Exactly, Hitler and the Nazi committed horrifying atrocities and murdered millions. You think that’s has to be the absolute worse and yet just as horrifying to think of is the hundreds of millions of actrocities and murders committed all for the cause of communism by those who followed powerful, if not charismatic leaders such as Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and others. Once someone learns facts like these you would think they would realize how fragile their freedom and liberty are.

I’ll be sure to read that, but am I inaccurate in stating that Stalin starved his people? I hope my memory of history isn’t fading THAT fast....:)
