The only thing Stalin had in common with the Nazis was that he was a socialist. But like many oppressive figures, he only liked the idea of socialism because it traps your underlings into dependency which makes them easier to control under a tyrannical rule.

"He committed atrocities" is not the definition of being a Nazi. If that's your definition, that's non-standard and people will misunderstand your points.

Read the sentence right after the first. Context is important.

I enjoyed the Futurama reference tho.

He was a fascist authoritarian dictator who committed countless atrocities under the guise of "socialism". He is very much like Hitler, historically. But no, he wasn't a "Nazi".

Stalin wasn’t fascist, though. Authoritarian, yes; dictator, yes. Fascism is specifically a far-right ideology, though. It’s not synonymous with authoritarianism or totalitarianism, though those terms overlap.

This is what I wanted to express. Thank you for making the effort to understand my post.
