Communism - build new "clean" society by a violent revolution and elimination of a whole "bad" class
National socialism (Nazism) - build new "clean" society by a violent revolution and elimination of a whole "bad" race
A whole lot of a difference...

Seems like you dont know what Marx wanted - stop talking about Stalin, Mao, Lenin and Trotzki!
They have nothing do with communism they just labelled their dictatorship "communism".

In general, violence plays a very important role in Marx and Engels writings. The whole argument between Marxists and Social-Democrats ("Anti-Dühring", "Critique of the Gotha Program") was specifically about the use of violence.
Social-Democrats argued that the transition to communism should be gradual and peaceful. Marx and Engels argued violence is required as it will help "cleanse the society".
