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.
