Evil is evil, Ross, the Nazis were evil, but so were/are the communists WRT
how they treat their own people. True, the Nazis tried to obliterate an
entire group of people along with a few others, but they were only
successful in killing 6 million Jews. As bad as that is, it does not trump
the evils visited on innocent citizens of the communist regimes.
