From my perspective it's more comparable to what Nazis did, than communists. Nazis have been widely known as book burners, human experimenters and generally bad people. Soviet Russia was bloody but it can't even remotely compete with what Nazis did. Japanese are also worthy mentioning with their 731 unit, purposefully infecting people with deceasing and watching how they suffer and die. That's what big pharma is doing today.

I agree. My contention is there's an underlying ideological and psychological common thread to communism, fascism and what we're currently witnessing. To try to make sense of this, I've had to significantly adjust my perspective of the power of ideology in the human spirit. I think history supports it.
