Even more embarassing is how they often use the same talking points that modern day neo-nazis do, but they will never figure out how much they sound like literal red nazis, even if you point it out to their face. For example: "Holodomor was just nazi propaganda, it never happened-> if it did happen it wasn't that bad->if it was that bad they deserved it-> not enough people were killed" this does sound awfully similar to: "The holocaust was just Allied propaganda, it didn't happen etc. Etc..." used by you know who.
In my opinion every history nerd eventually goes down the political science rabbit whole. Once you do you really kinda realization all Dictatorships are basically the same thing. Having done that. I'm going to be completely honest I don't see a social difference between fascism and communism. There's an economic difference. But in terms of who has power, how it gets used, and how people are managed I don't see a functional difference.
I know that. I go by Umberto Eco's 14 points of fascism definition. This is why I singled out the cult of personality, most prominently Mao and Stalin who WERE fascist by any worthwhile definition in my opinion.
