Where did you get this information, you can publish a complete list?

How many people Stalin killed depends on how you look at it. These are the FACTS. If you want to go by executions alone, 4-10 million people died in the soviet union from 1929-1953. This isn't as bad as the 30 million, but compare it to the 3,644 people who were executed from 1925-1949 in the US. That's quite a big difference. I don't dislike socialism, I actually support it, but Stalin... I don't like Stalin

If you're talking about America, I want to ask - who destroyed 99% the Indians?

As for the Indians thing, you make an interesting argument. since 1776, 100,000-500,000 Indians were killed in the United States (I think it's closer to 500,000). It was a horrible thing, but it does not justify what Stalin did.
After reading your question about the Indians, I took the liberty to research how many slaves died in the United States. The few estimates I can find show 5 million died in just 87 years. Again, even though these genocides happened in countries other than the USSR does not mean it justifies Stalin's actions. I'm sure in the minds of someone, all these things were justified, but having something be justified does not mean it's right.
