You don't have the commies to do most of the job this time.

How does one's ideology make them better equipped at fighting fascism?

If I decided to become a commie, would some divine god knowledge on fighting nazis be magically implanted into my brain?

Yeah commies did a great job occupying countries they "freed" from the Nazis.

If you want to replace one tyrant with another, the commies are good for that.

The equipment made them better equipped, not the ideology, though it does help because of it's accurate materialist understanding of history. The USSR had a massive industry that produced millions of bullets, artillery shells, and hundreds of tanks to fight the nazis. We don't have a nation like that now to fight the nazis, the nazis today are the dominant superpower and it will be a tough fight. I agree though idk what the point of that comment was.

The British weren't commies

Those same commies were very happy to cosy up to and ally with the Nazis until they got back stabbed.

NATO was perfectly happy to hire all the "clean" naxos after WW2 as well, that's why the Wehrmacht got sanitized.

They sure were! ~please don't actually study history, because you'll discover how many countries got away with nazism and chill~

Oh man those damn nazi loving commies, besides the nazis the commies were the only bad guys in ww2. /s

Antifa, the shitty street militia funded by Stalin, got their asses kicked in Weimar and the people calling themselves "antifa" today are also losers funded by people who hate their country outright.
