• No, I mean the view of what fascism is, do you think the media has made it seem like Fascism = anti semitism and ignores all the other groups nazi germany wanted gone, because that’s the only way “zelensky is jewish” can be a counter argument for being a fascist. I’ve noticed the same when someone compares the zionist entity to nazi Germany, same reaction "how can they be like nazis if they’re jewish’.

      Western media and politics has definitely reduced and obscured the overall class characteristic of fascism. People in the West seem to think fascism simply means “big government” and “hating Jews” because those were cornerstones of Nazi ideology. They’re not taught that Nazism is just one historic manifestation of fascist ideology and that the greater ideological movement itself if opportunistic, disguised and flexible according to the particular place it arises from.

      If they were taught about the material basis and goals of fascism they would have to reckon with the fact that their own countries histories were proto-fascist projects from their inception. If they were taught to recognize the signs, they would see that the same exact tactics, conspiracy theories, and rhetoric aimed against Jews in Nazi Germany have been used against Muslims in recent history (and continue to be so) and are currently being used against Chinese and other Asian groups as well. But because the way fascism and WWII in general is taught about in the West, Westerners have an incoherent understanding of fascism.

      I don’t think fascism and nazis are interchangable 1 to 1, iirc fascism is either a system of government or ideology. while the nazis are a type of fascism. all nazis are fascists but not all fascists are Nazis.

      but i can imagine most people stopped learning about history in highschool, so i imagine that when they hear fascist they think nazi then immediately the nazi’s extreme disdain for jewish people, so to have a person who is jewish in the company of nazis is enough cause to wave away concern. In terms on the zionist entity i imagine they wave it away because to have a jewish entity acting in a fascist way is oxymoron from their point of understanding history.

      they kindof used that plot in the hbo series “the plot against america” with the rabbi vouching for a vaguely anti semite dude for president

          Young people love confusing terms. So the words sound more mysterious. “Bolsheviks” began to be called after the II Congress of the RSDLP group, which received a majority in the elections to the Central Committee of the party. The Bolsheviks sought to create a party of professional revolutionaries, while the Mensheviks feared the criminalization of the party and tended to legitimate methods of struggle against autocracy (reformism).

          Anarchism (from ancient Greek. Anarchism (ἀναρχία, from ἀν- “without-” and ἀρχή “beginning; superiority; power”) is a general name for a number of systems of views based on human freedom and denying the need for coercive government and human authority over man. Therefore, “anarchobolsheviks” is nonsense .
