Before WW2, Stalin was responcible for the deaths of more than 20 million people in Ukraine and Russia. In the beginning of war in europe, Stalin was allied with Hitler and invaded Poland after the German army had beaten the Poles to a pulp. There was a mass grave in eastern Poland with 10,000 Polish officers and enlisted men that Stalin had killed and buried in the woods. Stalin continued to supply Germany with oil and food until Russia was attacked. The German army did well in the beginning to a large part because Stalin had about 50,000 Russian officers killed or eliminated for fear they would overthrough him.
Stalin is even implicated in the death of Lenin. Directly responsible for the death of Czar Nicolas II and his family.
The forced relocation of many nationalities to Siberia including Jews, Chechens, Tartars, and Ukrainians. Where most of the 20 million people were killed.
I have a friend that was a guard on a train that was repatriating Russian POW's. He said that when the POW's were unloading they were immediately marched in front of a firing squad and shot.

Here are some examples. When the Red Army was moving west, Russian POWs were freed from German camps. The half-starved former POWs were then armed and put back on the front lines. When the war was over those same former POWs were sent to the gulag for the sin of being taken alive in the first place!
After Stalin would give a speech he would always get a standing ovation. However the secret police would take note of whoever would stop clapping first and then send them to gulag. When people realized that was the policy, they would remain standing and clapping for hours and hours even after Stalin had left for his next appointment. Whoever dropped from exhaustion first then got sent to the gulag.

He had a great many more people killed than Hitler. It is well documented that millions and millions more died due to Stalin than Hitler.

Body count would be one way, especially among one's own. If one accepts the conventional wisdom of Nazism being on the far right and Communism being on the far left, then one is led to conclude that these two pretty well meet at the bottom of a giant circle.
