    The communists werent fascist, they were communist.

    I didn’t think I’d need to say that but here we are.

      The 1930s USSR was squarely under the rule of Joseph Stalin, a brutal dictator. It was a time of mass starvation and persecution.

        Authoritarian is not fascism. It is a component, but communism and fascism are not even close to synonymous.

        There was one famine from mismanagement, and Stalin wasn’t a great guy but this shit is really overblown.
