    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.

            I’m surprised the comments seem to be defending authoritarianism like it’s any more acceptable than fascism. “Stalin may have had millions of people killed and fueled the negative reputation of communism world wide for nearly a century, but at least he wasn’t a fascist.”. I don’t seem to understand why democratic social ownership is considered a worse alternative than letting a centralized tyrannical government harm people unchecked.

              “shooting a home invader and killing the neighbor next door are both violent killings, so we should classify them both as murder” - you, probably.
