Are you referring to the Communist's (mostly Stalin) execution of the professors who taugt Darwin's theory? These guys were executed for teaching Darwin's version of evolution. One must assume that the Communists were against them for some reason.

"One must assume that the Communists were against them for some reason."

*nod* I'll admit I didn't know about this - I'm still pretty sure Marx was all about Darwin, didn't know Stalin broke with that. I would still argue that most of the brutality in Communism still descended from Marxist theory, which itself was influenced by Darwinism.

What seems much more significant to me though, is that it backs up my belief that atheists can be such zealots that they'll eat their own. They even have their own sects, and kill each other off over the most minimal differences. How cute. That actually removes the last difference I could perceive between them and the most militant religious zealots.
