Since there are now only arguably two Communist countries left and those countries that embraced communism such as the Soviet Union had only at most seventy four years of Communist rule we don't know what permanent communist rule is.
I am thinking North Korea and Cuba. China got rid of Communism over forty years ago and became Fachist.

This is the kind of loaded question that makes me despair for humanity.
Not Stalin's personally, but it actually was Communism's and USSR's fault because a) Communism and its activities (specifically the 1917 -1923 revolutions) was one of major reasons for why Nazism appeared in the first place and b) without help and support from USSR in the 1919 - 1933 period and then in the 1939 - 1941 alliance, Germany will never have been able or willing to start the Second World War. And you have to realize that the Second World War and whole revanchism thing was not the uniquely Nazi idea: Germany began preparing for a new war basically as soon as it could (in 1919, as I said):
Yeah, it was the skirt that created the rapist.
If you're going to put the blame on all the rest, why focus on the Soviets and not, say, the Americans that propped up Weimar Germany and almost made her succeed, if not for the Great Depression (which was indeed a major cause of Nazi rising)? Why not the Anglo-French and the Versailles treaty, or all the facilitation in war debt repayment, and ultimately, cancellation to the greatest extent? Why focus explicitly on the Soviet-German non-aggression pact (a wholly different thing from an alliance), and not mention the appeasement policy too, or other diplomatic failures?
If you're going down the line of preposterous reasoning, why don't you blame everything on the German empire that allowed safe passage to Lenin through their territory in 1917? If they had prevented instead of facilitating his arrival to Russia in the hope of undermining the Russian government, maybe Communism would have failed to seize power in the first place. Distort logic and history, and anything goes - we can claim whatever pleases us, right?
