Would you say the same about Saddam Hussein? Qaddafi? Castro?
Under your neo-con philosophy, assuming we could have invaded the USSR without triggering a nuclear war, would we have been justified in doing so to prevent the carnage that Stalin wreaked? Should we have told Patton to go for it, back in '45?

Yes. Patton should have gone it because we knew we were getting the bomb. Once we had the bomb and they didn't we should have told Stalin to hold free elections or face annihilation. It would have saved hundreds of millions of lives that were killed by Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot.
