I mean it's technically true, but I don't think "Hitler was better" is exactly the way I'd phrase it.

I agree, but only if you say by 1938. Although i think it was clear what would happen than, so still in doubt. With hindsight, it's unjustified to make a clear judge, they're were the three most evil powerful men in the world together with the Red Khmer.

I believe however that Hitler was so blinded by his own ideals, that he never truly believed that he was doing something evil. The guy was so disturbed and distortioned in his views that he never ever realized what he was doing. Stalin had pleasure in killing people and was way smarter or should i say careful and therefore more dangerous. Although Hitler was so deranged that he had no control over what he was doing, and that he would nuke the entire Earth if he could. For him, it was all about him, his ideals and the German people. Ultranationalism at it's worst.

Pretty much this ... Stalin was more destructive, but he was not "worse."  The precedent set by the type of killing Hitler was engaging in would be much more disastrous and scary in the long run, and there IS something to be said for how sadistic the murdering is vs. the pure body count, IMO.
