    It has never worked in the past. Germany, Italy and Japan are famous communist nations, that’s the only way to defeat fascism and Co.

        Exactly. Germany, Italy and Japan have nothing to do with communism. They used to be fascist (or similar/allied in case of Japan) and successfuly transitioned to a free democratic capitalist society.

      I legitimately don’t understand your point? What?

      Communism hasn’t prevented fascism from rising, that’s why communism bad?

      The Nazis would likely have never rose to power in Germany had the social democrats not betrayed the revolution to preserve capitalism, btw.

        My point is that capitalism can easily defeat nazism, and in fact it’s the only example of it we have.

      I’m not sure what point you are trying to make here. The American empire sat back and let the USSR and the Chinese communists take the vast majority of casualties to defeat those rival empires then made them into imperial vassals?

        The original argument is “you can’t solve fascism with capitalism”. In fact the only examples of defeating fascism is with capitalism. All fascist societies from the past have transitioned to capitalism and democracy: Germany, Italy, Japan (kinda), Spain…
