Not sure if this comment was directed at me, what i was trying to say is whether you thought your actions were right or not doesn't matter to much (seen as almost everyone does) its the intent of the actions that you do have to take into account

Hitlers intent was to remove several groups from the face of the earth

Stalins intent was to crush dissent and hold onto power

Thier motivation behind these actions makes little difference the intended result makes a big difference..
I disagree here and I will tell you why, it's the intended result. Hitler's intended result was to make life better for a whole lot of people, basically everybody who wasn't an Untermensch(who, he thought were trying to subjugate the good humans ) in his mind.
Stalin however was just looking out for himself, the only one who was supposed to benefit from his actions in the end was he himself, actually that seems to give Hitler a certain social component that Stalin didn't have. If I'm not mistaken Stalin also killed his own family while Hitler had a nice time with them. Of course when Hitler was about to lose the war he came closer to Stalin and started to become paranoid and angry etc.
