    Giving them too much credit, I could very much see them make the argument "Hitler was a tankie" unironically

      If horseshoe theory is real, and eveyone left of hitler is a tanky, and if you keep going left and it wraps back around to hitler, then yeah. Hitler's a tanky.

      Isn't that the old "Isn't it national socialism?" bit?

        Yes but many liberals see fascism and communism as two sides of the same coin even though pro western, pro capitalist politicians and followers are more sympathetic towards fascism. It’s incredible that these people will call Trump and his voters fascist and then somehow the people who oppose them are also fascists because… they speak to crowds?
