    It is not promoting Nazi apologia to suggest Hitler thought the Jews were in a conspiracy to take over the world. How could you possibly interpret that as apologia? Do you deny this is true? He literally did that, it’s an important piece of his history.

    I also didn’t equate them. You’re confusing comparison to equalization. People can compare things, that’s allowed. Stop conflating the two things, I did not equate them, and it’s okay to make comparisons. Saying they were similar in one aspect does not suggest they were equivalent in all aspects. That’s just such a vastly different thing, and it’s a thing I didn’t do.

    What standards do you think I’m holding communism to differently than fascists? How did your brain go from equating Hitler and Stalin, to holding completely different standards towards the states they ruled? I didn’t even mention Communism or Nazism or how they function in my comment, it was about Hitler and Stalin as individuals.
