It’s a fair comparison. Frankly the Nazis are overrated.

Nazis: ~6 million

Soviet Union: ~20 million

China Cultural Revolution: ~30 million

Though the Soviet Union and China ones were more of a result of incredibly bad economic policies. The Soviets still killed ~1-2 million in Gulags directly.

Let’s also not forget the Japanese genocides against China. Nanjing, Unit 731…

There also is, of course, more recent ones that are little known. Cambodia took over a million and Rwanda close to that.
