Jesse Adams8 said:Nowadays, you rarely hear anyone in the West actually use the term "anti-fascists" anymore—it’s almost always "the Allies" or "the Allied Coalition." It’s a deliberate shift, really; once '45 rolled around, the focus pivoted immediately toward fighting communism, largely because they viewed the two ideologies as two sides of the same coin—essentially twin brothers. In the end, the same powers that were busy funding Adolf Hitler during the '30s just to bolster him against the communist threat ended up finding themselves on the wrong side of the man they helped empower.
👍Exactly. Then the West suddenly "switched sides" by funding the USSR—basically arming them to beat Hitler—while sucking up to them by claiming communists were the best antifascists.
Now they want to "separate" communism from antifascism, or maybe even equate the two.
Nothing new under the sun... the world has always been pragmatic and hypocritical, I guess.
I just wonder how many blind people live around here who don't get any of this. They’re still out there fighting their little ideological battles for Washington, D.C. or Moscow, when it was really just big Anglo-American-Zionist capital pushing everyone into war to solve their own massive economic crisis at the time.
It's like some people want to repeat history—using this "fascist vs. antifascist" rhetoric to downplay victims on all sides. Isn't the world facing an economic crisis again right now?!
Can't we get out of these crises without a war?!
Otherwise, why dig up all these old bones decades later, unless it's just to stir up more trouble?
The people doing this are basically the biggest enemies of this country—and the whole world—regardless of which "side" they claim to be on.
Hey, economists—why don't you start a thread on "How to escape a deep global recession WITHOUT World War III?"
