I really can not see much difference between the terror of Hitler and Stalin with the difference the Hitler terror concentrated on the jews, gyspsies and certain Slavs while those of Stalin was more dispersed. So I can not say that one is better than the other. There is no difference except for the one had won the war.

+ the doctrine of stalinism was based on public ownership + complete lack of entrepreneurship which in fact was one of the main reasons for the collapse of the system
I suppose the biggest difference is that Stalin won while Hitler lost WW2.

Since the allied wanted to keep Stalin close, they didn't pressure him too hard when Stalin did something nasty.

Really the two are no different.. Heck I think Stalin is much worse in terms of how many he killed.
