    Maybe I am nitpicking here, but as a German the difference of facists and Nazis is an important one to make. Every Nazi is a facist, not every facist is a Nazi.

    Nazis see themself in the tradition of the NSDAP, facists dont necessarily do.

    I dont think the biden or Obama administration where in tradition of Hitler, even if there were facist tendencies long ago. I think trump, Vance etc. Are really acting in tradition of the specific German facists, the NSDAP and Hitler.

      Yup. Good to point out the “all nazis are fascist, not all fascist are nazi” distinction logic. Thanks.

      I kept trying to warn people, that merely moving “left” from the more purely corporatist fascism we are currently under, does not bring us to a better place. The “greater good” start getting served with totalitarian atrocities all the more, moving from a more Pinochet place to a more Hitler place. We have to get more freedom back too, in at least equal measure…

        1. Supporting a state which does a genocide is bad, but doing a genocide is worse - while both are bad, its not the same thing.

        2. Facists and Nazis means two distinct things, while I would agree that Israel has facist tendencies, I wouldn’t classify them has Nazis, as this is the specific German version of facism. I dont think you will find anyone in Israel praising the NSDAP or being in tradition of them for obvious reasons

          The genocide couldn’t happen without the USA support and the wedt in General. Even Russia and China are complicit. In this case the associate of the criminal charges is as serious as the one who commited the crimes

          Zionism is similar to nazim they are both supermasist ideologies . Zionists leaders has the same goddamn rhetoric as Nazis and use similar terrorism acts and tactics. Stop whitewashing Zionism. Just because Nazism main target are jews and zionism main target is palestinians it doesn’t mean they are not similar. Similariry do not equals identity
