Is Communism the worst? Or national socialistsm is the worst?

One is careless and doesn't intend to kill civilians while the other is careful and deliberately plans the deaths of civilians. The end result is different. For example people living in communist countries can sometimes still grow their own food and survive, if they have land. My economics professor last semester grew up in rural communist poland, and his family beat the food quotas by growing their own food. Under a genocidal dictatorship they wouldn't have had a chance.

and under communism, if they were caught growing and withholding food for themselves without the knowledge of the state, they'd get gulag'd
What's the difference in the end between an extermination camp and a labor camp where the intention is that the inmates will die of exposure/malnutrition/exhaustion? The intention of both is the same, the implementation is just different.

The intention of both concentration camps and gulags was that political enemies/ "undesirable" people sent there would die there. What point are you trying to make?
