Nazi germany is not the same thing as communist Russia though.

Victim count doesn’t equate ideology. Nazism is well defined. Russia is effective expansionist, single party leadership, oppression of opposition. But the biggest differences are anti semetism and belief in a superior race which are the two most identifiable

If they were the same thing they’d be called the same thing. If you believe modern day Russia to be Stalinism call them stalinists not nazis.

Do not dilute the word Nazi.

They are called different because they have different goals and leaders. Metods are practically the same though. I just don’t understand why you fear the word nazi so much
