[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.

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

It's this. Che Guevara was a bad guy, but he didn't set up an execution system to torture and murder six million people and start a six year world war to boot.

And I don't think there are a lot of Lenin or Stalin memes or tributes. The hammer and the sickle, sure. You also have to remember that communism has a history as a political movement that did not have as its goal total world domination and the systematic elimination of the "other." Which isn't to say that Stalin was not as bad as Hitler. He was. It was just in a different way.
