[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is excusing either, but the Nazisim is in your face in a way that other symbols just aren't, historically or otherwise.[/quote]

Che Guevara is pretty in-your-face.

If I can, I always ask people wearing Che T shirts why the have a picture of “Hispanic Hitler” on their chest. Most are angry at being called out on it, which tells me they’re aware of his history rather than simply ignorant about it. [/quote]

Honestly, this is a bad take and undermines the systematic ruthlessness of the Nazi regime. It’s just a dopey comparison that has no basis in fact, only in your feelings.

I’m not going to wear a Che shirt. But comparing him to Hitler truly undermines the severity of Hitler’s atrocities.[/quote]

Stalin and Mao killed far more people than Hitler.... but Hitler lost the war. Who knows how many would have died had Nazi Germany won WWII.

I still think the evils are equal. Fascism/Nazism is more notably a threat because of the tide of white supremacy and far-right in Europe and among the right wing in the US, and communism is not as racialized. But Communists also committed genocide against Ukrainians and Jews, Uyghurs in China, among others. [/quote]
