Comment on When Hexbear finds out Nazi stands for National Socialism

Hexbeara are definitely wrong about things… But I have never seen them do anti-Semitism. And the Nazis really can’t be considered socialist— you can disapprove of socialism without lying or being misinformed and claiming that the Nazis were socialist—Hitler essentially joined and took over what maybe at some point was a pro worker party. They killed like a lot of communists.

They support the current treatment of Tibet and Uighurs in China, they also support Putin in the war. They think NATO and the UN is a threat to world peace.
How is that any different from supporting literal nazis? They’re functionally morally equivalent.

Tankies are definitely also authoritarian, and they also oppose anything western and democratic, but that doesn’t make them Nazi’s. Don’t forget that the Soviet Union also murdered a lot of people out of the name of communism. These two ideologies oppose each other in many ways, even if the end result in both cases is horrible.
