Too hard to answer.
There were a lot of bad men/women in history.

If anything the work of Marx and other socialists should be held up to high regard. We'd still be stuck in industrial capitalism, totting around 12-hours a day as the acid rain made our cities stink even worse than they currently do. Of course thanks to the voodoo economics of some free marketeers we're fast returning to those days...

That's a mighty big claim about America and Stalin. Please show me where America killed more than 10 million people between those years. Since that is Stalin's body count, I'll even start you out - 1,000,000 in Vietnam.

As far as the Khmer Rouge is concerned, it is estimated they killed over 1.6 million of their own. Nearly 21% of the population. Estimations on bombing deaths run to 150,000, hey you were only off by one zero.

I wish to revise my list. In light of recent events, I would strangle the baby dick cheney in his cradle and sleep very well at night thank you.
