There's not such a thing in Kapital. "Kill x million citizens", "exterminate all sparrows" or "made part of country into contrentration camp" can not be found there, as well as in Western-democracy theories you can't read "declare war to whole World", "cure AIDS by raping virgins" or, well, "made part of country into contentration camp".
Beside that, Lenin (except up to 1921) and Stalin were not communists, or at least not ever anything near to good ones. Their works qualifies them as just dictators.
