The German Fascists were violently anticommunist, but funnily enough I’ve never seen anybody use that to argue that anticommunism is wrong even though it was far more important to their politics than something like drinking water or breathing oxygen.
Antisocialists always focus on the Fascists’ least important aspects to induce guilt by association, many of which aren’t even true. E.g. the Fascists were gay (see The Pink Swastika), the Fascists took the guns, the Fascists nationalized literally everything, the Fascists had a strong welfare state, the Fascists lived on the streets, &c. It’s never, ever, ever the elephants in the room.
The Nazis also drank water and breathed oxygen, and so does Xi Jin Ping. So do you, dear lib. What does that say about you, hmm?
