Honestly the only people in the entire world I trust with that stance are like Ukrainians because ya know.... Soviet Union kinda gave them a taste of how communism can also suck so they have a personal bias. Everyone else that compares those two casually is *at minimum* moderately right leaning.
Would actually appreciate someone who’s been in this fight for a while educating all of us who are new how to tell when you’re dealing with a good faith antifascist and when it’s an infiltrator.
I have a feeling we’re all going to need that skill set soon
The big tells are the moral equivalence between fascists and communists, equating anti-fascism with hashtag resist, the huge following count and being followed out of the blue (indicative of a followback grifter), and just the overall weird vibes.
"Guys! Did you know the nazis were called national SOCIALISTS?!?! They were Marx boys all along!!! Like, of course, capitalism won WW2 it had more money! BTW, I am not a fascist. I just felt like saying that for no reason!"
