Honestly I'd take Nazis over Communists any day. It's not even a contest.
Nazism: Killed as many as 11 million people (Some debate. Saying it's lower than 20 million raises eyebrows and putting it below 5 million tops gets you Shoah'd. Logistically, it's probably more like 1 million, but let's take liberal estimates for the sake of argument)
Communism: Has killed at least 100 million people in famines and suppressions in major regimes and many minor regimes have killed almost ten times that by adopting communistic principles like central banking, excessive regulation, and suppression of dissent.
Even overestimating the nigsocs and underestimating communigs, we end up with a difference of two orders of magnitude.
And don't you ask about the death toll of socialism in general, oh boy.
Not only is there more deaths under communism but the oppression, cultureless-ness and soullessness of communism is also the worst ever seen in any system in history.
