The only reason the Nazis didn't kill more than communists is because it was one government which lasted 11 years, compared to numerous governments which lasted half a century or longer.
The Nazis killed a lot, lot more per year of power. Numbers games is stupid anyway.
How about we just don't go with ideologies that kill people
Well, I've never heard of anyone die on the receiving end of Libertarianism, although it may be different for european libertarianism, since concepts change depending on if they're over there, or here.Sure. Name one.

Sigh! Facepalm!
Ok. Show me where in communist ideology it says that electing a psycopathic paranoid murderer to run a country and slaughter thousands is such a good idea that nothing could possibly go wrong.
This is really one of those threads where a bunch of americans get to demonstrate just how completely ignorant of communism they are and brainwashed they are into hating the word that they do not understand.
Well, how about you educate us all on the virtues of communism then.

Capitalists killed 1,000,000 innocent Iraqis under President GW Bush. Why would anyone want to be Capitalist?
Well there's never been a libertarian government, but as it is a survival of the fittest philosophy, plenty of poor people would undo die from lack of medical access.
Sigh! Facepalm!

so as we all know that commies have killed much more people ( i am not talking even about enslavement peasants , in which commies are absolute champions ) than Nazis,
so why is it still Ok in the western world to be a commie, even today ?

The part where it says "you have a right to someone else's wealth". That's a all-around bad idea that inevitably ends up with an authoritarian ruler to enforce such philosophy. That's why communism is a ****ty idea in practice, and a ****ty idea on paper.
It's an inevitable outcome of a totalitarian command economy. All must go according to plan, and if that means people die, it's a small sacrifice for the Greater Good(TM).
Also, in order for it to have a prayer of working, everyone must be on board. Which means there can be no dissent, because dissent breeds more dissent, and it all collapses. So, if that means civil rights like freedom of speech and freedom of the press are abolished, it's a small sacrifice for the Greater Good(TM).
The US federal government conducted a series of prosecutions from 1949 to 1958 in which leaders of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) were accused of violating the Smith Act, a statute which imposed penalties on those who advocated violent overthrow of the government. The prosecution argued that the CPUSA's policies promoted violent revolution; the defendants countered that they advocated a peaceful transition to socialism, and that the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech and of association protected their membership of a political party. The trials led to the US Supreme Court decisions Dennis v. United States (1951) and Yates v. United States (1957).
In real world economies, Communism and Socialism type arrangements require government domination to exist. Totalitarianism to defeat self interest is the norm.
In real world economies, well regulated free trade requires loose regulation to exist. Self interest to defeat totalitarianism is the norm.
Since self interest is something that needn't be legislated, the momentum of the system based on it is self perpetuating.
Self interest is like gravity. It's always there. Always working. Always predictable. Always dependable.
In the sense of societal economic dynamics, Communism and Socialism are like trying to make water flow uphill. That's why they don't work.
You can overcome gravity and self interest, but not easily and not perpetually. Eventually, gravity ALWAYS wins. So will self interest.
