Lenin, the first communist ruler, instituted mass liquidations, concentration camps and a complete suspension of all civil liberties. This was all perfectly aligned with communist philosophy and every communist ruler since just followed his lead. The result: hundreds of millions of executions.

Perhaps you should lend out your powers as a fortuneteller to the Bush administration. You could help save the world, and make oodles of cash at the same time.
Lenin -- The first "communist" ruler? I suppose. However, the results you cite come from the implementation of a dictatorship of the proletariat, lead by a Party that serves as the elite vanguard of the Revolution. That is Leninism/Bolshevism
It is simply not accurate to say that Leninism or Bolshevism is the same thing as Marxism or Communism.
