The general theory of Nazism is based on hate, whereas the general theory of communism is based on peace. It was one madman (Stalin) who transformed the USSR into a machine that killed 30 million Russians.

And again, don’t forget that ALL regimes are murderous! Don’t forget that North America used to be covered head-to-toe with people who were successfully murdered to make room for European colonizers. Don’t forget the brutal British conquest of India, or South Africa, or ... the list goes on. But the thing that seperates these regimes from Nazism is that Nazism was founded and based on hatred. All of the other regimes were based (perhaps misguided) notions of patriotism, of fighting for peace, etc. Even blatantly imperialistic regimes, like the Romans or Mongols, weren’t motivated by hatred.
