as libshit as Snopes is, apparently there was a series of Nazi rallies in 1930s New York, not just at MSG
Not only that, but the Bund had like tens of thousands of members, maybe over 100k. The largest rally was over 20k at madison square garden and this went in on NYC till the war started. They even sent their kids to nazi summer camps. La Guardia actually led massive rallies against them at the time since he was outspoken against Hitler very early on.

Although I think those here were not Nazis, for example not in the picture but in the clip linked someone holds a sign saying: "Arm Britain and Prolong the War"
They just didn't want to be physically involved.
Interesting enough the communist party also openly opposed us intervention into the war until Barbarossa happened because it thought it would only be done to follow imperialist interests. It was actually the Comintern that kept the party line as being against joining the war.
because it thought it would only be done to follow imperialist interests
Haha yes, unlike what happened in reality
I don't think it really matters when there's, y'know, the Nazis to stop. Any amount of imperialism is better than that.
Yeah its worth noting too that the communist party supported intervention before the war started.
Yeah, and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact did a lot of damage to the credibility of the Party in the US. Don't know about this specific protest, but liberals were the biggest pro-war faction in the US until Pearl Harbor (opposed by isolationist conservatives, fascist sympathizers, and communists). The original post here is ahistorical and uses the word "liberal" with about the same level of finesse as Fox News... just "things I don't like."
Yeah the party began to be seen as weak on fascism and just an arm of Moscow, which was obviously not popular among most American Communists. The extremely quick about face when Barbarossa happened just cemented the idea that working for the CPUSA was just being a pawn for Russian interests rather than working for liberation in the US. One of the many unfortunate consequences of the geopolitical realities at the time wrt Communism.
Um, excuse me? This joke makes light of my very serious assertion, sir, which I take as a violation of the NAP. I'll see you in privatized arbitration, sleepyhead!
We all have a fundamental human right to NAP, so I hope you enjoy yours.
Is this the same people who protest in favor of attacking socialist governments, and are pro war in China and DPRK?
Bourgeois reactionaries must protect their colonial interests.
1934 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden
EDIT: after looking carefully through the sources the picture linked is from a 1934 rally, not 1938
americans, when germany is openly doing genocide: now let's not rush in to doing something crazy like staring an unnecessary interventionalist war over something that isn't our business
americans, when the middle east exists: REEEEEEEEEEEEE
