Well done...you touched on all the right points.

I have always found it telling that the very people who vilify Hitler actually venerate the Communists whose death tolls made Hitler look like a piker in comparison.

When you are responsible for 6 million murders, being made to look like a piker in comparison is not easy to do.

Thank you!

The misconception that Hitler was some sort of right-wing extremist unleashed. Of course the exact opposite was true.

And sure, the body count was higher under the other Communist dictators...but you won't hear American leftists saying anything negative about their ideological brethren.
