    “anticommunism = profascism” is probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen today, but you shouldn’t be banned for stupid takes

      Anti-communism is absolutely a dogwhistle that fascists use, generally when naming organizations or movements. See “Rock Against Communism” etc.

      This isn’t universally the case though

      Name a time a communist country was overthrown that didn’t involve liberals organizing fascists to do their dirty work for them.

      Name a single time.

          No, but all times a communist country has been overthrown fascists were used by liberals in order to facilitate that.

          Can you name a single instance where that is untrue? Just one?

              Well if you’re serious:

              Name a time a communist country was overthrown that didn’t involve liberals organizing fascists to do their dirty work for them.

              Name a single time.

              He’s talking about the US gov (Liberals), backing coups by not actual nazis but simply people who don’t like communism (locals who support capitalism.) It’s just flavour he puts on the world to make his anger sandwich more tasty.
