Tired of "worse than Hitler"? I found this on the net.

Sorry, Glenn Beck.
One hitler shall henceforth be a unit of measurement equal to 6.0*106 human deaths. Standard SI prefixes would imply that Harold Shipman's achievments amount to 36 microhitlers. The true utility of the hitler allows useful conversions. Eg: the EPA considers one human life to be worth 6.9 million dollars. Ergo one hitler is a loss of 41.4 trillion. It can therefore be established that noone except Joseph Stalin is "worse than hitler", with damages equal to about 5 hitlers. And when the congress didn't pass the stimulus in 08, we lost 1.3 trillion in a day: roughly 29 millihitlers. In summary, when a bank asks you to pay a 35 dollar fine, you can confidently say that they're fucking you out of 84 picohitlers, then ask them if they have a tiny Auschwitz behind the counter.

1. Mao Tse-tung (or Zedong) was even worse than Stalin

Mao had 50 years of civil wars, Great Leaps Backward, and Cultural Revolutions to eliminate his adversaries and anyone else he didn't like. Mao's totals will never be completely known, since many of his murders are indistinguishable from what was done by other parties in the period 1931-45, but estimates range from 20 million to 70 million deaths attributable to him in just the time that he had full power on the Chinese mainland, from 1949-1976.

3. I got quite an education about Mao about 20 years ago

I was good friends with a Chinese guy whose family had been torn apart by Mao, first during the civil war, then later during the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Finally, what remained of his family was able to escape to Taiwan. He would talk for hours about how he hated Mao and the Communist Party. And you should have heard him in the immediate aftermath of Tienanmen Square.
