Apparently AntiFa are simply old school Communists.

“Fascism and communism are the same thing. Just two party groups struggling for power. They are totalitarian, morally evil and deadly.”

Yup. The left are at war with human nature. They think man can be perfected(whatever the elites consider perfect) by an all powerful tyrannical government. A new and perfect society can be created if they just get rid of the undesirables and those that won’t go along with the program.
See hitler, stalin, lenin, mao, pol pot etc.

Churchill called nazism a more efficient form of communist despotism.

I keep hoping some multi-billionaire conservative will swoop down and pull the bunch together or buy one of the more embattled big three broadcast networks and finally give us strong and consistent conservative voice, but it doesn't look likely yet.

I believe I have read that the founder of OANN was a wealthy man who felt this way and so therefore he started OANN.

That was probably a well-orchestrated effort aided by deceitfulness like academic studies on the "authoritarian personality".

The left and Academia were always supporting Socialism, and many of them supported Hitler at first. When he turned out to be a horrible monster, they started using Stalin's technique of labeling everyone who wasn't a communist as a "right wing fascist."

Academia and the press gleefully adopted this methodology, so the history got very distorted as a result.

The difference between the left and right here in America is that the left wants more government control (Nazis and Communists) and the right wants less of it.

I believe conservatives, recognizing that you must have some government, want just enough government to keep society functional, while Libertarians want even less than that.

But those who advocate for stronger governments are on the left, not the right.
