In your opinion, can we say that Communism (the Soviet-era) was as bad as Nazism?

I think that we can. Both regimes killed millions of people for who they were or for their beliefs.
The Nazis exterminated gays, insane people and national minorities; the Soviet NKVD (the secret service) killed their own soldiers during the war (rifle brigades that walked behind the lines of Soviet soldier and shot the soldiers if they didn't go fast enough or turned back).
The Nazis and the Soviets divided Poland (and the rest of Europe). But for the conflict between they would most likely be fighting together against the Brits, the French, the Americans.

Great-grandparents were executed in the USSR. Polish, teachers.

Do this nowadays and you would have solved issues between Christians and gays, saved us shitload of costs to pay for retarded people and Africa would not be starving because there would be no one TO starve.

Get over it, Nazism is great, but to accomplish what they want they must kill people, which is (Yes I'm not full asshole) quite a downer.

@user Yates: Solving the issue between Christians and gays can be achieved in another way, for example educating hard-line Christians/Muslims/whatever that taking religion THAT far is pointless.
But that isn't the point. Point is, are communist crimes = nazi crimes?

@user Yates: The extent to which communist crimes were bad for the humanity = the extent to which nazi crimes were bad for humanity?
I know you're just fooling around, but at least it's bumping the thread.

I wouldn't say it was "as bad as" but rather "worse than"

I watched a movie with live footages on what was happening in Soviet Union and Germany as well as politics, high-ranking officer talks etc etc. I don't know if the movie was made to show the worse points of Soviet Union and at first I was quite sceptical about everything and rated both sides without bias but the movie did have some effect on me and for the next month if there would be a talk about Soviet Union, I'd mind that it was worse than Germany. I could have been controlled by the media but now I'm back to ignoring such matters since past is past (no matter what it was or how interesting it is). The movie was called if I would translate it from my language as "Soviet Tale" so I guess it's "Soviet Story"

Edit : WestBeam does have a point o.O
Edit : Doesn't matter who they SAID they were, matter what they were actually.

I like you already.

While socialism might seem like a very good model for a country, it is obvious that both Nazism and soviet communism were terrible regimes.

Nazism might have had impressive economic achievements, but their twisted idea and implementation of eugenics (which is already quite debatable by itself), their aspirations of territorial expansion and the brainwashing of their people easily make it one of the worst democratic regimes I can think of.

Soviet communism might have had some interesting social and economic development, however, the way they closed themselves to the rest of the world threw that away, not to mention their governors were terrible (Stalin)

In the end I don't think we could compare Nazism and soviet communism since both Germany and the Soviet Union were going through some rather unique circumstances.

Of course, China and Cuba are examples of sustainable socialism. However, I also think that they can't be compared for the same reasons.
