re: #209 Occasional Reader

But given your very observation, the difference between “right wing” and “left wing” loses any practical meaning. What real difference was there in being a subject of Hitler or of Stalin? It becomes a Crips vs. Bloods kind of distinction; a smarter taxonomy recognized them both as “street gangs”, rather than as somehow on different sides of a “spectrum”.

Read my post #146. Fascism is national, because it is rooted in race and tribe, and thus is tied to the soil from which the pure blood sprang, while communism is international, because it is rooted in the dissolution of class distinctions, which can be found all over. This is why fascist genocides are directed at races (Jews, Gypsies, blacks), while communist genocides are directed at classes (the bourgeoise).
