Fighting Nazis Doesn’t Make ‘Antifa’ the Good Guys
17th August 2017
Jonah Goldberg points out some inconvenient truth.
Fighting Nazis is a good thing, but fighting Nazis doesn’t necessarily make you or your cause good. By my lights this is simply an obvious fact.
The greatest Nazi-killer of the 20th century was Josef Stalin. He also killed millions of his own people and terrorized, oppressed, enslaved or brutalized tens of millions more.
Nazism was evil. Soviet Communism was evil. It’s fine to believe that Nazism was more evil than Communism. That doesn’t make Communism good.
Left-wing talking points to the contrary notwithstanding, Nazis were socialists (National Socialist Party).
Communists have killed at least three times as many people as the Nazis ever did.
The Nazis stopped killing people in 1945; communists have continued to the present day.
There are no Nazi governments any more; communism still oppresses China, Viet Nam, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.
Media handwringing to the contrary notwithstanding, there are probably more transgender people in the U.S. than actual Nazis. Indeed, there are probably more Hell’s Angels in the U.S. than actual Nazis.
