For you, it's Trotsky, he's a misunderstood pussycat cuz his hands got covered in the blood of thousands rather than millions (or whatever the perverted reasoning is... i see you take refuge in some quote of Marx, "quantity changes quality", as if it were holy writ).

So by your reasoning no difference between one who kills 10 people and someone who murders one. The dead would beg to differ and so would their loved ones. THUS: "quantity changes quality", 

......"quantity changes quality", as if it were holy writ).

Nope. Just common sense and giving credit where credit is due

Both are murderers. And, I don't believe that one's guilt increases as a strict linear function of their crimes. Someone who kills merely 3 million is not "twice as good as" someone who kills 6 million. The moral calculations are difficult but I know that they do not follow these simplistic mathematical formulas.
