I agree Communism is not Fascism; so what? It sucks itself

The cesspool that Political Twitter often is had this Tweet Wednesday when "Communism" was trending:

To which I quote-Tweeted:

And stand by it in detail.

The SPD is the same as the German political party today: Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands or Social Democratic Party in English. During the last couple of years of the Weimar Republic, German Communists kept pressuring them to coalition, and the SPD refused on principal and with good reason. And everything I said in my Tweet is true.

Now, "Move Left, Idiots," in the context of this particular tweet, was trying to "trigger" Ukrainians, it appears. I can do that, and call out what's wrong with Zelenskyy's corruption and more without writing blank checks to either Putin's PR machine OR that of (alleged) actual Communists in the US.

And, as for the non-twosider facts on the ground? Wagner Group has fascists just like OUN and Azov Battalion. And, if state controlled capitalism is fascism, but not full Nazi type, then both Putin's Russia and Xi Jinping's China qualify.
