See my post above. The truth is, people bizarrely look at Communism and Fascism as opposite ends of a political spectrum, when nothing could be further from reality.
They are both full totalitarians, as is any socialist variant. Because of the true nature of socialism, it is just another form of totalitarianism.
Political Freedom and Economic Freedom are inescapably intertwined and cannot be separated. You cannot have political freedom when you don’t have economic freedom, and vice versa.
You lose one, you lose the other.
That’s perfect, I think and really describes them well. It paints the mental picture accurately.
The conflict that we had with the Western Allies was incidental to this primary struggle between the two competing and fundamentally opposed forms of socialism: National and International.

And many of those original “Antifa” in Germany eventually came over to the side of the Nazis once the Nazis gained power.
Even Judge Freisler was a Bolshevik, Hitler always used to refer to him as “That Old Bolshevik”.
At the end of the Cold War, Liberalism died. Fascism filled the void.
Analyze what the Democrat Party stands for and how it operates and legislates. Try to discern any ideology other than fascism. There isn’t any. It isn’t as extreme as Nazi Germany YET, for one reason: the Dems don’t want to panic the herd until there are only sheep.
