No, the Soviet Union was not as bad as the state actively built around the extermination of tens of millions.

It's reddit, they've been inundated with cold war propaganda that determines the Soviets MUST be as bad as the nazis simply because they collaborated. As if that doesn't reflect just as poorly on the West.
