this is quite one-sided of course and i'm sure there will have been exceptions, but it is crazy what the power of one strong political individual can do with a person's mind. hitler wasn't the first one who got a whole nation into doing crazy stuff.

The ''radical''* communists see nazism and fascism as a phase in the constant re-balancing of power within capitalist imperialism, not an isolated evil chapter in history with unrelated consequences to everything that happened before or after, which is an extremily sore point between them and the various liberals (many a SY fan can be described politically as just that, no more no less), theoretically/tactically under-developed anarchic groups, and especially the parliamentary section of leftist parties, as much an enemy to them as your token right-winger.
* I wrote that between brackets because by radical I gather you mean REAL communists, or at least those who push it into serious political activity of non-extremist thought/doing .
