Really? 20+ million starved to death in the USSR and uncountable millions
killed in China during the Mao's reign and millions killed in the killing
fields of Cambodia. Communists were/are just as ruthless as the Nazis ever
dreamed of being.

That's in Germany which is uber sensitive about their Nazi past.

Klahn is a useful tool for the "progressives" in that he will say
anything to defend their agenda.

Again, Klahn is a useful tool and a loyal union stooge.

Precisely.

Calling someone a Nazi is also an admission of defeat and is meant to end the debate.
