Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.

Communists: We're giving people basic rights and food and shelter, but we might make some mistakes along the way and we try to acknowledge them where we can.
Anti-Communists: Communists are evil. proceeds to do every fucking horrific thing they can possibly think of and get away with, and blame it on anyone else if it comes to light at all
Communists: Are you fucking kidding me? This is our opposition?
Anti-Communists: Stop being so evil, communists!
those were the people US were supporting as "democracy defenders" against the "communist threat" of the north
It's fascinating watching the west talking about Korea during the cold war. It was rarely, if ever mentioned, and was treated as pretty bad, at best an "unfortunate necessity" but usually just ignored as much as possible. It wasn't until the 90s when South Korea's image was rehabilitated and the DPRK was demonised.
Which is also quite spectacular considering, you know, the South Korean dictatorship Amerikkka installed
Every accusation a confession
