Capitalists and communists in many countries helped cause their rise to power.
You’re just saying that because “both sides” feels true to you. It’s not, though. Communists in Germany were the bitterest opponents of the Nazis, before the latter even had a strong party formation. And as the first line of the poem goes, Communists were the first ones “they” came for (although this is usually omitted in liberal retellings".
If you’ve ever heard of Antonio Gramsci you know that imprisoning or killing communists was the first order of business under Mussolini.
You can name any country that went fascist, and we can point out where the capitalists were easing it along and the communists were fighting it tooth and nail.
Probably the Italians and Germans were a bit involved too, obviously ww2 is not entirely the fault of America but they were some giant fucking dominoes that fell.
american capitalists had a hand in funding hitler and mussolini’s rise to power
So that makes them entirely the US’s fault? Capitalists and communists in many countries helped cause their rise to power.
communists, well known for putting fascists into power
oh woe is me I seemed to have dropped this
Everything causes everything. Scare against communism allowed fascism to gain a foothold faster.
and because capitalists hate communism so much they immediately turned to fascism, that somehow makes communism the enemy?
“It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to save democracy from communism.” -Michael Parenti.
Everything effects everything. You can draw a line of causation from anything from reactions or trickle down effects.
bro then capitalism is more evil than communism, since it direct ties to fascism. You are proving me right with sheer idiocy.
how does this attribute any crimes to communism?
My brain is trying to process how monumentally stupid you are being.
Good luck!
i’ll need it, you seem to just be on drugs at this point
This is now officially a tantrum
Did you get locked up or something? You’re just repeating yourself now
No shit. Guess who pioneered this view of history? Fucking Marx
It makes you wonder what kind of people turn to fascism because they’re scared of communism. I wonder. I wonder…
Who created these scares?

Entirely? No. But they do bear a lot of the burden.
