Then how come so many ethnically homogenous societies do so well? And how can you say there's no correlation?
How can you 'acchtually' and not mention money printers and fiat currency going brrr? That's where the real theft is occurring. Tax is terrible, government bullying it terrible, but money printers et al is where the real monetary damage is coming from. Even putting aside gold-backed currency and coins with actual silver in them, the value of money back in the 50's was, what, like fifteen times more?
There are many similarities, but also some stark differences; they are far from identical. And, if anything, I'd flip that, and say it's amazing that socialism isn't thought of as evil like fascism is. That's the real issue. They've already covered 'fascism bad.' Unless I miss your point on this.
They used nazism as a scapegoat to pin all the evils of leftism in general. "The commies fought the nazis so they were good guys".
Meanwhile blatantly suppressing every commie genocide and pushing the idea that far left socialists were right wing simply because they fought against commies. Conveniently ignoring the Holodomor, the fact that soviets and nazis were allied at the beginning of WW2. And that the real majority of what was later twisted into the modern perception of the holocaust was not in the camps, but was the combined soviet and nazi butchery of civilians (not just jews) across eastern europe.
