No I am not a Stalinist apologist. I'm taking the law of averages that somebody would have a better chance surviving Stalin's Soviet empire Vs Hitler's empire. Especially if you were non-German. Didn't Hitler sterilise Germans who had one parent who was black? I personally would be more scared to live in Nazi Germany if I wasn't a member of the chosen race.
If you were Jewish, Stalin's empire was easier to survive.
If you were higher class, Hitler's empire was easier to survive.
Both targeted Polish educated class.
In Hitler's empire, you got higher chance to get shot or gassed.
In Stalin's empire, you got higher chance to starve.
Here, we had both and the comparison is... screw it. Let's learn from this history to never repeat it.
