The Soviets correctly diagnosed their society's social ills as originating in economic exploitation and dominance, and thus turned landless, penniless serfs and workers into poets, engineers, cosmonauts, doctors, agriculturalists, teachers, all manner of learned, literate, free-thinking persons able to unlock their potential, once they overthrew that economic system. Nazis openly stated that their only plan for fixing their problems was eternal warfare and the extermination of "non-Aryans", because that would somehow fix problems... They actually tried doing so, almost wiping out whole populations all over Europe.
In contrast, all of the death tolls aimed against socialist states have been intentionally inflated and the nature of deaths that occurred in those states were deliberately misidentified (being at the helm of the dictatorship of the proletariat gives you magical powers of weather control!) by Western counter-intelligence and bourgeois dissidents that fled into the West's mighty teets. Then, they taught their populace that denying the false charges is the same as Holocaust denial... even though Nazis recorded their disgusting campaign and left bodies. On the other hand, archive data confirms that muh Gulags weren't death camps in the slightest, that even the most fanatical Red Guard attack wasn't anything close to even Kristallnacht, and none of the many "intentional" famines were intentional, and very few were nearly as bad as claimed. Also the fact that there aren't any bodies confirming the 900 billion. No communist has ever claimed that communism has clean hands or that there haven't been mistakes or violence committed by communists, but they are categorically different.

While I'm not an apologist for Communism, I will say it's completely ridiculous and moronic to ask that Communism be "wholly democratic." There has never been a "wholly democratic" state, and there never will! It's impossible. That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it, and that doesn't mean that, indeed, Communism, whenever it has been implemented, has failed miserably to do so, but it's absurd that you put such a demand on Communism, but let Capitalist and mixed systems get away with imperfect democracy (which is the only kind that exists).

Depends on what you mean by "wholly democractic" or "speaking against the state". If you mean 100% direct democracy, the communes of Maoist China and the Soviets are pretty close to that. If you just mean largely democratic, they all were, much more-so than in the Western bourgeois states.

Stalinism was the worse tragedy of the 20th century because communism started with noble intentions and much like the French revolution it was usurped by terror and power-mongers.

Nazism has the biggest death toll on it's hand and is a legit evil ideology, but it was the last explosion of imperialism in an already changing world and in retrospect it have never survived very long.

All totalitarianisms collapse, however totalitarian communism was a an even bigger black mark in the history of humanity than all other totalitarianisms combined because it took Marx's genuinely uplifting philosophy and turned into terror and lies while also killing any possibility of future communism, condemning us to more decades of capitalist exploitation and destruction of human dignity.

Why do you think having "many parties" means having democracy, or different opinions? Is this what you see in modern Western states, especially the US? If anything the socialist single-party model employed by Soviets and China is more honest and logical, as it reflects the majority's overall view of building socialist society under socialist politics by people devoted to that socialism, though they may individually have different ideas of how to do this. Chinese or Soviet communist politics were never, ever monolithic, and consciously so.

National Socialism was our only hope, because unlike Judeo-Bolshevism it was actually based on correct premises. Race is an undeniable, inescapable biological reality and if you ignore it for the sake of political correctness you are an enemy of science just as much as a flat-earther. The soil is the lifeblood of a people. It is the duty and honor of the strong to rule over the weak and to seek to strengthen themselves against their opponents. A currency should not be based on gold or silver or debt but on the labor of the people who use it. Central banks and the international finance dynasties are cancers which must be cut out of reality.

The Danzig Corridor was stolen from Germany in a street mugging writ large. Poland was carrying out a genocide against ethnic Germans. The Polish military attacked a German radio station. Germany defended itself. The Soviet Union invaded Poland at the same time. France and Britain both declared war on Germany, and Germany alone, ignoring the USSR's invasion of Poland. Every other military action the Third Reich undertook for the duration of the war was in the interest of self-defense.

Germay had no interest in extending its borders after the war. It wanted to be at the forefront of a union of National Socialist and Fascist states and nothing more. It even wanted to establish new states for oppressed ethnic minorities.

You seem to fundamentally misunderstand the beliefs of National Socialism.

National Socialism recognizes the right of all races to exist, if they can survive the struggle for existence, and exist as a volk with a homeland to call its own, and not as a parasite upon the volk. There is thus no one "master race" and no need to exterminate all races except for one. The Japanese and Chinese are master races just as much as the European Caucasian races.

Hitler only wanted to free countries from the control of the Jewish central banks.

Hitler only wanted to unite all ethnic Germans living outside of Germany in a Greater German Reich. This basically means he planned to take any territories with a majority German population, which I think included parts of Poland and France. He also wanted to take back territories stolen from Germany after WWI, which I think all happened to be ethnic German anyway.

Hitler also had some dreams of reestablishing a German empire in Africa, and perhaps taking over some territory to the east where Slavic peasants could work under a German aristocracy (lebensraum), but he never really developed these ideas and it's unclear if he ever would have actually implemented them.

That was the extent of his territorial ambitions. They're modest compared to what the British, French, or Russians actually did, and nothing at all compared to the empire Americans have built since the end of the war. It's hardly the "taking over the world" the Saturday morning cartoon version of history would have you believe. Imperialism was always more Italy's thing, because they actually wanted to live up to the Roman Empire's legacy by taking over Africa.

The faults of modern day capitalism is due to governmental interaction in the private sector and lack of stable and functional institutions in poor countries.

Those who prefer alternatives to capitalism often justify their system by anecdotal fragments and the sheer romanticisation of its allegedly ability to work in a hypothetical scenario where a holistic perspective is skewed to give it the benefit of doubt rather than the historic judgment it received.
