As bad as Fascists are, they’re pikers compared to Communists.

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.

I agree with your comments. I would perhaps rephrase the communist end of it though. Leftists think the only reason communism didn’t succeed was because it was corrupted the only times it was tried.

They still think that under the right circumstances, communism would beat the pants off capitalism.

Russia, the leaders were flawed. China, the leaders were flawed. Cuba, the leader may have been flawed, but the U.S. ultimately caused it’s failure.

“Too much of a good thing.” LOL, that is funny huh.

The mass market media would have you believe that fascism equates to conservatism. Not true at all.

'Nazi' is actually short for the national SOCIALIST workers party. Both fascists and communists are on the same side of the political spectrum.

Add it all up and the democrats these days are straight up fascists in the original sense.
