This guy "used to be" alt-right (i.e. a Hungarian Fascist), then it turns out he's still shit. :surprised-pika:

Editing to say I really do hope that all the dunking he's getting on his YouTube posts convinces this guy to read a bit and finally understand why his fascist beliefs were bad in the first place, and why he's wrong.

            But really. It doesn't strike me as something which should be taken for granted. From a communist perspective, it seems lazy as hell to reduce all your adversaries to fascists. But it has happened so many times that it's basically a rule.

              Fascism is a historical and material outgrowth of capitalism, in defense against communism. If you think about it from that perspective, it's utterly unsurprising that liberals tend to support it.

                Oh those people absolutely. Anyone who says the Communists were worse than the Nazis is a fucking Nazi. I'm commenting more on how I've never even seen an anticommunist forum that wasn't fascist. You'd imagine there'd be some genuine Liberal anticommunist institutions which are above collaborating with fascists, but I have never seen one.

                  Ever since fascism existed, this has never been the case. It's because fascism mainly just exists to serve liberalism (i.e. protect capital from threats). See the recent post on here about British Intelligence funding Mussolini for another shining example of this.

                  Exactly this. What happened to the "12 nazis at a table of 13 people means 13 nazis at a table" adage? If you regurgitate anticommunist lies and essentially give justifications for and minimize the holocaust and Lebensraum, then you are as much a fascist as a person who identifies as such. a self-conscious fascist is not as effective at doing the work of fascism in many contexts, as a liberal anticommunist who gives a veneer of respectability. It was not through their own might, but the open support of the SPD that the Nazis came to power
