In your scenario you seem to be equating two ideologies that are bad because of different reasons.
Nazi content is social darwinist in the sense that they believe in a race war between nations and that it is every race's duty to enslave and extract resources from the inferior races. It is appealing because every Nazi believes that they are part of the chosen race.
I haven't seen anything near that level from any communist. The worst thing they do is hate their boss and demand a revolution which is supposed to result in some utopia. When you talk to them about Marxist Leninism most of them tell you that they don't approve of it.
There is a difference between wanting fascism as a goal and having facism as a side effect of a flawed ideology.
The communist is harmless until the revolution happens. The Nazi will be racist and violent as soon as today.

You mention that they are bad for different reasons but I think my reasons for opposing them to identical. They are fundamentally evil ideologies (Marxism and Fascism) and they also have each been implemented in a way that each resulted in the mass murder of millions (Nazis and Communists). Edit: Forgot the article 'the' article in the last sentence.
