The point I was making is defining *why* Hitler is so often used instead of *other* dictators and mass murderers.
Among other things, as a writer, you want to make analogies to things that are already collectively understood. Hitler/Nazi are so well understood, it's a very easy, and "politically correct" target. Pol Pot's reign is NOT well understood. In fact, if you mention Pol Pot, most people will assume you're talking about some kind of asian cooking pan, like a WOK.

And I disagree, I think it's because academic revisionists love communists.
