OK, so Uncle Joe did starve 100,000 people to death, but he was a good dancer.

Well really about 100 times that many, but as Uncle Joe said, "A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic".

Nobody really knows, but Stalin's "liquidation of the Kulaks" has been estimated to have starved between 6 million to 13 million. God knows how many more he murdered in the Purge Trials, the Gulags and all. But he was "misunderstood," see, and that's good enough for a forgiving fellow like Ed Asner.
