If we'd use the logic of the black book, we'd have to do exactly that, as it counts all the Wehrmacht soldiers killed by the Red Army and the communist partisans in self defense as "victims of communism". Can't have anti-commuinism without clean Wehrmacht propaganda after all.
Not to mention that the nazis did almost all of that killing in a mere fraction of the 12 years they were in power. The deportations only picked up speed when the war was already underway. And it's not as if they were anywhere near being done with the atrocities they had dreamt up for Eastern Europe when they were finally stopped. If the Nazis would've ever had controlled an area as large as the AES states combined, for as long as the USSR existed, the death count would be immeasurable.
Saying the communists were worse than the nazis is full-blown Hitler apologia and should always be treated as such.
That's Black Book of Communism to be clear, not The Black Book of Soviet Jewry, Polish Jewry, and Poland that that title is taken from which are documents of the Holocaust carried out during and shortly after the war
