To the far left, anyone who is not a communist is a “fascist.” Anything that is against communists or against their Islamic allies is “fascist.” This forces them into really odd arguments. They will get into a weird Jews = Nazi because Israel is Zionist and Zionism is fascism rant. They will also say, against all evidence, that Islamic countries are peaceful and respect the rights of women. Thus, if you say that Islamic countries oppress women, you are a “fascist” and anti-women for pointing this out. Reality means nothing to these leftists. They have theories and associations and paranoid imaginings and some of them become violent if you try and show them some facts.
