Reform UK being a bunch of Nazis isn't surprising at all

    The thing is, it's not going to be "communism vs fascism" because those in power know people don't like that word "fascist." Change this to communism vs capitalism and see how those views change. What it will be is actual fascists, not calling themselves fascists, attacking actual communists, that DO call themselves communists. And people will mostly just let it happen because all those "support communism" people are mostly a mix of what? Liberals, Soc Dems, Dem Socs, moderates, etc, etc.

    They will sit by and do nothing cause they will think "well the communists are being too extreme. We should compromise. The government isn't actual fascism or anything. I mean, I'M not a communist." Ect. Ect.

    I'm not trying to be pessimistic. I'm just being logical and not letting myself get into some false sense that the UK is someone on the cusp of going communist.
