The fascists didn’t lose WWII, they merely changed venues. We the sheeple now live int he ever growing fascist state of Himmler’s dreams.
I think it is more accurate to say that the fascists lost WW2 and the communists won...until the soviet union collapsed. Now, the communists have morphed into neo-communists, which is indistinguishable from fascism except for one thing, a nationalistic fervor.
I think the Marxists finally thought about there particular desire for government control is much more efficient under fascism than communism.
