My understanding is that Communism is an economic system/ideology that incidentally ended up killing a bunch of people, while Nazism is a political ideology that includes intentionally killing some people. Is that inaccurate?

Might be more fair to say Nazism is about getting rid of people. Communism only gets rid of roles (landlords e.g. -- the person gets to live).

The key, though, is that being a communist is at worst akin to being an anti-vaxxer: your beliefs are wrong, and will kill people, but that's not your intent. All suboptimal economic views will result in people dying. You can be Austrian, Keynesian, etc. Just not guillotinian.

suppose that you are judged if you do something bad that you know will hurt people but not if you do something bad without knowing it will hurt people what do you reckon this disincentivizes :)

In theory knowledge/careful thought, but it also seems obvious that we're right to distinguish manslaughter from murder. Some qualification about "a reasonable person" might be enough, but I think accidents, even negligent accidents, aren't as bad as intentional killing.
