Stalin did kill more people according to many statistics (http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat1.htm), but when you consider that Hitler's rise to power was one of the catalysts for WWII's outbreak, it puts him over the edge on the evil scale - he inevitably caused the deaths of many more people than Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, and the like.

 

I also feel that Hitler may be a little more evil because he discriminated so much. Stalin was pretty sweeping with his killings - he killed peasants and he killed his own generals as he saw fit due to their failures. Hitler killed just the people he didn't like and for strange personal reasons. In a way, I think of Stalin as Darth Vader. He uses negative reinforcement (hurting you for your failures on time, every time - setting an example with killings) rather than punishment (sometimes punishing you, sometimes not, teetering in between; ex: Hitler's concentration camp). In addition (also akin to Darth Vader), Stalin somewhat redeems himself by helping to take out Hitler's Germany, especially in the months leading up to May 1945, when the Soviet flag was raised on Berlin. Plus, I totally love the USSR. ;)

 

Personally, I am awed by both men and think that as leaders, their ambitions were largely misunderstood. I don't think, on the other hand, that Hitler's craziness (mental condition of some sort) takes fault for his wrongdoings.
