I'm far from a supporter of communism, but the comparison of communism to Nazism is silly to me.
A lot of horrible things happened under communism, monarchism, and democracy.
Judge a philosophy as immoral on its own merits, not simply that bad things happened under it's rule.

What people are really arguing is that Stalin's decision to kill people is somehow an inherent idea of communism. It's a bad argument.
Enslaving black people isn't an inherent idea of Republicanism either, but using the same bad argument...

Staying consistent with my previous positions, I do think it's reasonable to say these bad things reflected on the underlying ideologies.
I just think a lot of those ideologies we treat as morally neutral or good, have more than plenty blood on their hands (e.g liberalism)

Nazism is an immoral philosophy all on its own. It's not immoral because people did bad things under while under their governance.
Liberalism is a good ideology on its own. It's not good because some people did good things under its governance.
