    Maybe instead of leaning on the message of fascists you could express your concerns in some other way. One that doesn’t degrade yourself in the process. Like making your own comics with your own words.

      The communists werent fascist, they were communist.

      I didn’t think I’d need to say that but here we are.

        The 1930s USSR was squarely under the rule of Joseph Stalin, a brutal dictator. It was a time of mass starvation and persecution.

          Authoritarian is not fascism. It is a component, but communism and fascism are not even close to synonymous.

          There was one famine from mismanagement, and Stalin wasn’t a great guy but this shit is really overblown.

            The USSR was a fascism because it was a central dictatorship with violent tendencies. The actual definition of the term.

              That’s not the definition of the term, by any ones analysis. The simplest, original definition is that fascism is state and corporate power combined. Like the US has been for half a century.

                Didn’t the state own all the corporations in the USSR? How would that not be state and corporate power combined?

                  There were no corporations in the ussr. There were business, not multi regional conglomerates.

                  And even then the purpose of a corporation is to profit. That is it’s sole goal.

                    That doesn’t change that the powers of governance and commerce were in the same hands. Changing what you call it is just semantics.
