Presumably a lot were communist party members, as were certain European and American composers, specifically when Stalin was running the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union was running the local parties. Stalin managed to murder some 20 million "class enemies" with his gulags, show trials and mass executions, while party members lied about it. Mao, whom Stalin helped come to power, did even better. Cambodia's Pol Pot has them all beat if you weight for population. Yet nobody blames this on Prokofiev or Copland, and I don't think they should, any more than the average Republican is to blame for Abu Ghraib. It depends on the specifics.
