One-Hitler is not a Leftist under even the Stalinist/Maoist understandings of the word. The Left is for labor and for state ownership of the means of production. Hitler was for an all-encompassing tribal state.
Two-In his own lifetime Genghis Khan had far more haters than he ever did allies. With the receding of centuries, Moderns nowadays look at the Mongol Peace and ignore the leveling entire towns to make pyramids of skulls. That Hitler becomes less a ogre and figure of fear and more human and more within a broader context is inevitable.
Three-Mass murder very obviously isn't mass murder. The USA simply succeeded in doing it to blacks and to Indians for centuries. Germany and Japan and Italy failed extremely spectacularly. That's the only difference.
