Compare Nazi Germany to Stalinist Russia, and it's subject states, and you see pretty much the same methods used to the same ends. Hitler had Jews and Holocaust, Stalin had kulaks and Holodomor (danged spellcheck doesn't like either of those words....hmmmm....I'm not fond of them either). <br /><br />VERY good and thought provoking piece, by the way.

My sources say either usage is correct, it depends on what you're trying to say, I guess.
