Both deal with absolutes. A complete monster has no redeeming qualities. Which admitadly may just be due to not getting enough of a look at the character.

A Crapsack world is set up to be a realm of doom. There is no way to make it better, at least not within the normal rules of that world. It is not merely a destroyed world or a world where Cthullu is on the loose. It is one where nothing can get better on it's own.

A world ruled by Hitler - not Crapsack. Wold where all governments have collapsed, man-eatting horrors roam freely, no one has anyone to turn to or any place to gain relief even in the small scale - That would be your Crapsack.

Crapsack is a world where there is no system in place. Not only one where all of England is under the evil rule of Prince John and the closest thing to good is a bunch of bandits in Sherwood forest, but one where Sherwood forest has burned down and Prince John was assassinated where crime runs the streets and the concept of re-establishing a govenerment to bring order to the land is as far removed as learning how to fly.
