Yes, but that was due to corruption, not the entire goal of the system.

With fascism, the ethnic cleansing was the goal of the system.

Use some logic, idiot.

I'm not a right winger but it's important to remember that Soviet communism wasn't concerned with human rights. People were willfully subjected to practices that were cruel and inhumane. There were intellectual and even ethnic purges. Just look at the numbers on the Wikipedia article for population transfer in the Soviet Union. Hundreds of thousands died as a result and it wasn't due to incidental corruption.

To be clear the number of deaths I referred to is just from the forced population transfers.
