Phc7006: And imho, this is exactly where the problem lies. While everyone will (rightly) associate that totalitarian regime in Germany with a major form of evil, too few will recognize that the soviet regime was in particular under the rule of Stalin, as wicked and evil. To summarize it grossly, the population of Russia and Ukraine would probably be the double of what it is today, had it not been for the direct and indirect consequences of the "dictature of the proletariate". The great patriotic war accounts for 40% of that loss, but the other 60% are the result of what happened before and after it.
I wasn't saying nazism was "more evil" or worse than stalinism, I was just referring to how the terms "nazi" and "soviet" are perceived, nowadays. Language isn't history, it isn't static, it evolves. To call someone a nazi is worse than calling them soviet, that was my point, regardless of what historically happened in Russia.
And, for what good it might be, "at least" the dictatorship of the proletariat didn't include any kind of biological racism in any of its written supports and manifestos, something the nationalsozialismus did, in fact.
