Sure, the USSR did kill a lot of Nazis. But to claim all of the victims of communism were Nazis is bullshit
I've already thought of this quite a bit and reached a conclusion, that I like to call "the gulag museum problem".
As a communist myself: many people were brought unjustly to prisons in the hardest years of the USSR and suffered greatly there, probably hundreds of thousands of innocents. Should there be a museum dedicated to them? Yes.
However, this is focusing on one event in one particular difficult time of history in one particular socialist country. If we start counting the victims of capitalism and colonialism, and compare to communism, we will reach astonishing numbers. The problem is therefore not the existence of the gulag museum: the problem is that for every gulag museum, there should be 20 museums about the victims of capitalism/imperialism/colonialism.
Because they don't actually care about people who suffered. They just want to put up a museum with a big list of names so they can go "look how evil communism is. They're just the same as nazis but with a different coat of paint."

Reason: Trivialization of Genocide
I accidentally commented on a lib instance and was told by lemmy users that Russia is doing a genocide in Ukraine just like Israel is in Palestine and I finally realized they literally live in a post-fact alternate world.
Gaza is 144 square miles and 100k+ civilians were killed but Eastern Ukraine is 16000 square miles and 10k civilians were (unfortunately for sure) killed.
The Palestinians are a group of people that only exist in Palestine with a distinct culture from Egypt and Jordan and are being wiped off the face of earth. The people who died in the Russia/Ukraine war are mostly Russian speaking Russians. This is not the same. The Gaza genocide is a literal order of magnitude greater. The facts don't matter to them at all just the insistence of American innocence and their "rules based order".
The libs are the ones trivializing genocide.
Always But Russia, But China, But Hamas. Everything is genocide except for actual genocide, which is fine
