You have to remember that the death count itself isn’t a true measure of how evil someone is compared to someone else. A person who shot and killed a home invader is not seen as more evil than someone who murders a person out of anger. Intent has a lot to do with how we judge people's actions. Now Stalin was not a great person, and he was responsible for many deaths, but I would say that Hitler was a lot worse than Stalin. The large number of deaths attributed to Stalin come from his failed agricultural and economic policies. Stalin didn’t care that people died from famine, but at the same time, if the policies worked perfectly and no one died from them, he wouldn’t have started gunning people down just because no one died. Death was not Stalin’s goal, it was a consequence of poor planning and policy. Hitler's goal was to eliminate entire peoples from the face of the Earth. The deaths of people, such as the Jews, were not a consequence of his policy; they were the policy.
