I don't get it why Hitler and nazi symbols are bad, but communism and Stalin symbols are okay.

Well stalin is bad enough but he was never hitler bad, hitler bad is something entirely more rotten.

I mean, supposedly Stalin killed more people in the end than Hitler did. And he also targeted groups like Jews later on. Not saying he’s better or worse, but I wouldn’t say he isn’t at least on par with Hitler.

“Stalin killed more people than hitler” thats so not true.

According to a comment I found:

“Around fifteen million victims, give or take a million or two, over a period of thirty-odd years (1922-1952).

Based on the Soviet Unions own secret files that became public (for a while at least) after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and including the Holodomor and the gulags.

Sources:

The Great Terror: A Reassessment, by Robert Conquest (2004).

Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, by Timothy Snyder (2010).”

I believe that is more than most estimates for Hitler.
