Fighting Nazis is a good thing, but fighting Nazis doesn’t necessarily make you or your cause good. By my lights this is simply an obvious fact.
The greatest Nazi-killer of the 20th century was Josef Stalin. He also killed millions of his own people and terrorized, oppressed, enslaved or brutalized tens of millions more. The fact that he killed Nazis during World War II (out of self-preservation, not principle) doesn’t dilute his evil one bit.
This should settle the issue as far as I’m concerned. Nazism was evil. Soviet communism was evil. It’s fine to believe that Nazism was more evil than communism. That doesn’t make communism good.
Alas, it doesn’t settle the issue. Confusion on this point poisoned politics in America and abroad for generations.
Part of the problem is psychological. There’s a natural tendency to think that when people, or movements, hate each other, it must be because they’re opposites. This assumption overlooks the fact that many — indeed, most — of the great conflicts and hatreds in human history are derived from what Sigmund Freud called the “narcissism of minor differences.”
Most tribal hatreds are between very similar groups. The European wars of religion were between peoples who often shared the same language and culture but differed on the correct way to practice the Christian faith. The Sunni-Shia split in the Muslim world is the source of great animosity between very similar peoples.
The young communists and fascists fighting for power in the streets of 1920s Germany had far more in common with each other than they had with decent liberals or conservatives, as we understand those terms today. That’s always true of violent radicals and would-be totalitarians....

Fighting nazis is good when when there’s more than 200 in a country of 300 million.
Ignoring them at that number is better.
Fighting Antifa and BLM IS Good because there are TENS of thousands of these black/white/spanish male/female faggots running rampant in need of a good #### kicking.
I hate California Communists every bit as much as I hate Illinois Nazis
(With apologies to the Blues Brothers)
Communists in America (including celebs Woody Gutherie and Pete Seeger) rallied AGAINST the US going to war against Hitler. Communist Party USA was not anti-fascist until Hitler betrayed Joe Stalin.
Up until then their party line was that American industrialists were pushing for war against poor little Adolph.
Fake news. They do not fight Nazis, just old women waving flags. They are a second version of the antiwar cowards of the 60s, feminist extensions looking for a quick buck while
coddling with islamic mysoginist terrorists
Nazis indulge on people with different color
of skin. Antifa indulge on any target they can exploit, using a tool box of lynching expletives such as “racist” at their disposal to humiliate and rob them (dictTorship or the bourgeois)
They are far more destructive and just as evil
Love it!
No. It’s because they are phonies. What they really are are revolutionary communists that want to violently overthrow the government of the greatest nation this world has ever known. A country that needs to build walls to keep people OUT (illegals). Communists need walls to keep people IN (their own people).
When Nazi’s and Commies fight it is best to just let them have some fun. Knock yourself out boys, girls and whatevers.
Get lost Jonah, never Trumper. You cannot rehabilitate yourself, no matter what you say. Please tell Dennis Prager erase your video from PragerU while you are at it.
Not the first time Communists fought Nazis.
