Fascists aren't morally healthy humans. Authoritarians can't cope with social reality, where different people can have different opinions and loyalties and yet support each other. They always seem to end up succumbing to patriarchal cults, where Lenin-Hitler-Mao-Trump gets to do whatever he wants to your sons and your daughters, and you and your working class have no recourse.
Remember children, anything authoritarian (especially when talking about the left) is now "fascist." This totally isn't a maneuver in the right-wing fascist playbook to water down the term "fascist" to push for greater acceptance in the idea of fascism in the general public that we're seeing today.
Well obviously one was done by fascists and the other was done by communists.
Comparing two really different ideologies with just one aspect / event and saying they are essentially the same is not really the way to go. Coming from a country that has a history with liberal capitalism, state socialism/communism and fascism I feel like its really unsettling how you are throwing together the different ideologies.
Communism and Fascism are really different in as many aspect as they are similar. Especially because fascism and communism both really vary from the specific context they got to power. Like fascism in austria was different from fascism in germany or communism in china is different than it was in poland.
Stalin wasn't a communist. He had the Bolsheviks assassinated. He was an imperialist.
He got into power through the Bolsheviks however. A wolf in sheep's clothing. There was similar with the Nazis in Germany, but I see that more as left wing infighting making them blind to a far right threat.
Nothing in my post is defensive of Stalin, you fucking buffoons.
Dude, you're just as transparent as you are shallow.
You’re acting like this is a right wing play, but the tactic of using fascism as an insult toward left wing parties actually has precedent even within left wing politics.

Replying to everyone's comments, comment history stalking, being a tankie, bro, literally go touch grass.
From my experience it was the leftists who started to call everybody and their mother fascist.
So there could be no different outcome from this.
