Generally, communists have made the greatest butchers.
Hitler, I think, is the only exception, the only dictator of the right anywhere near as awful as the great reds, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao.
Some of the minor reds were pretty awful, too, like Pol Pot.
The flunky red dictators of eastern Europe, perhaps, and maybe Tito compare with that other exception, Castro.
Their regimes seem actually to have been better, in some ways, for the lower orders than capitalist regimes in the same countries were or would have been or would be.
It is safe to guess that Russia, China, and Cambodia would have been better off without the reds.
Likely Spain dodged a bullet with Franco's victory.
Not sure about Chile.
Probably.
