Scratch a leftist and you will find a fascist or a communist.....
I resent that comment because it has no basis in fact. Have you ever taken a history course? Let me refresh you. The Communists valiantly fought off the German hordes in World War II or did you forget? I am a Marxist Communist and I hate fascists. We are ruled by them now in America and I hate America for that reason and am working to kill Capitalism/Fascism. Do some research before you post innane comments like that please.

While Stalin was buddies with Dr. Hitler, the Commies, world-wide, including the US branch of the Comintern had no big problem with Fascism or Nazism and they all agreed to focus on bashing the capitalist enemies of the US, France and Britain.
Once WW2 started, with Stalin very much on Hitler's side, the Commies, including the US branch of the Comintern (the Communist Party in the US) were agitating against imperialism and couldn't care less about Hitlerism. Then, when Hitler finally began doing something good and went after Stalin's ass, the Commies turned on a dime and did nothing but lobby 'the arsenal of dee-mock-racy' to bail out 'Uncle Joe'.
So, yes. The Commies fought Nazism to the extent that it threatened Stalinism and after Stalin asked them to do so. Not everything that Hitler did was good but one GREAT thing that happened in East Europe during the Nazi occupation was this great opportunity regular people had to take their just revenge on the Commie Komisars who were stupid enough to stay behind.
