As bad as Fascists are, they’re pikers compared to Communists.
Mao is supposed to have killed $50 million in his purge. Stalin was reported to have killed $20 million.
The leftists must whisper to each other, “50 million here, 20 million there, it’s just bookkeeping.”
I've used nearly this exact phrase myself.
BTW, I've noticed that liberals get irritated when you compare Fascism and Communism. They tend to want to come to Communism's defense. It's evidence of an interesting asymmetry in the way conservatives relate to Fascism and liberals relate to Communism. Conservatives utterly reject Fascism from first principles, but to liberals Communism is just a little too much of a good thing.
