And what would be the response to a poster who, on that date, posted 
that he sang the Horst-Wessel-Lied, of course?

Roughly speaking, communist governments killed ten times as many of the 
people they ruled--I'm excluding combat deaths in both cases--as the 
Nazis did. Of course, it's true that they ruled more people for a longer 
time, so had more opportunities for mass murder. 

I continue to be struck by the assymetry in attitudes to the two 
ideologies.
