I'm not sure that being anti-communist is necessary, Although why anyone wouldn't be anti-communist is beyond me as it has a horrifying track record. I could find other sources but I'm at work and am using this as a momentary steam release as I'm under the gun on a rather large task

Mao is estimated to have killed ~40 million with Stalin in the ~20 million range.

Ok, then. In any event Stalin, Hitler and Mao were all mass murderers who caused the deaths of millions. Just to be clear I'm talking about deaths not related to the prosecution of a war, i.e. soldiers killed, civilians killed in combat, by bombing etc.
