It has nothing to do with washing the bloody hands of communism. It has everything to do with understanding the enemy. If people here get this triggered over a benign statement that Hitler is worse than Stalin, then we will never be able to think strategically when it comes to things we hate.
Anyway, what justified Nagasaki was not the outcome. It was the intent. Nukes have not been used again because we have not had any War that even minutely approached WW2. We also feared the consequence of using a nuke in a world where other people can nuke us in retaliation. That is the Cold War. Nothing at all to do with learning a supposed maxim that "not all ends justify the means."
Hitler being better or worse than Stalin is not an objective statement. Both were fucking terrible, because both got millions killed. Doesn't matter if it was the systematic dehumanization and extermination of jews, or systematic persecution and extermination of political opponents of the state. And that's why people are down-voting you to hell. There's a larger point against authoritarian regimes in general being discussed here, and your focus on "triggered" people is really a swing and a miss in terms of relevance.
But I don't think this is accidental. You give off a very troll-ish vibe.
