Why does the Swastika get more hatred and censorship over the Hammer and Sickle?

Both symbols were the emblems of nations that caused great atrocities. However you see far more censorship is hate for the Swastika and SS emblem than you do for the Hammer and Sickle. The Soviet Union has caused far more death and even more so with the rise of communist powers in our history than Nazi Germany ever did.

However today you only see the Swastika used by inbred rednecks while the Hammer and sickle can be seen on the shirts, buttons, bumper stickers, and beanies of edgy skinny high schoolers or young adults in college.

Either we accept our history as the human race and by censoring them both or not get worked up about either.

If someone has to explain it to you, I would say you got issues.
Why don't you glorify the time Napoleon wanted to conquer the whole Europe or centuries where Muslims occupied the Iberian peninsula (Portugal and Spain)? (If you so want to accept your history)
Why don't you honor the filthiness of the bubonic plague?

@eMortal At least Napoleon did a fuckton of good in the course of his conquests - bringing rule of law and end of feudalism to half of Europe.

@eMortal this isn’t me asking a question asking why I make these questions for others to discuss amongst each other. Just to make things clear.
