Worse than Nazism?

Wizbang has an interesting thought regarding the fall of Nazism 60 years ago and what replaced it in parts of Europe:
60 Years Later - Which Was Worse, Nazism Or Communism?
That's question hidden in the background of the celebrations of the end of World War II in Europe this week. Robin Shepherd of the Center for Strategic and International Studies looks at the question, and the motives of those who seek to avoid it.
Bratislava, Slovakia, May. 9 (UPI) -- Amid all the chitchat, commentary and controversy over this though it has rarely broken through: Which was really worse -- communism or Nazism?
One answer, a sensible one at that, is that both systems were so degraded, disgusting and unpalatable that it is impossible to establish a hierarchy of value in which one could possibly stand higher, or lower, than the other. When you've reached the deepest pit in Hell there's nowhere lower to go.
Kevin quotes some more from the UPI article and then closes with this thought:
Some, whose romanticized vision of communism comes via the study of textbooks, to this day fail to acknowledge the horrific consequences of tens of millions of those in Russia and Eastern Europe who were killed in the name of Soviet-style communism. Nazism and communism may be dissimilar in many ways, but when measured by the crude yardstick of genocide, both were two sides of the same genocidal coin.
I think that first sentence explains a lot about today's Moonbats.
