Why aren't Communists more closely associated with Nazis?

"In the world's collective consciousness, the word "Nazi" is synonymous with evil. It is widely understood that the Nazis' ideology—nationalism, anti-Semitism, the autarkic ethnic state, the Führer principle—led directly to the furnaces of Auschwitz. It is not nearly as well understood that Communism led just as inexorably, everywhere on the globe where it was applied, to starvation, torture, and slave-labor camps.

The world remains inexplicably indifferent and uncurious about the deadliest ideology in history."

The holocaust killed 6 million Jews, and is rightly reviled as one of the most horrifying tragedies in the history of mankind.

Where, then, is the outrage for the 150 million killed by Communists? Why do they get a pass? How is Nazism's racial genocide worse than the ideological genocide of Communists the world over?

We would be wise to remember where Communism tends to end up and to be suspicious of those who look kindly on it.
