There is another aspect, and that is the importance of the mission. Communism
and Nazism made it as if there a massive existential threat. That we were at a
crossroads, and the fate of humanity hung in the balance. They didn't just
make out Jews to be troublesome, the SURVIVAL of the nation was at stake. Look
at how leftists talk of this supposed bigotry causing genocide. They make out
as if right wing views are killing people by the thousands, and imperiling us
all. This drives justification, an urgency, it makes taking a life the lesser
evil.
Time and time again I see rhetoric which would easily justify murder later on,
and its a worry, it really is.
Agreed. Maybe not at this minute but if we ever swerve too far left, towards communism or some other collective "greater good" path, there
will be trouble for those who do not comply.
The "Communist-Capitalist" dichotomy or axis is not useful as an explanatory model anymore. It is clear that Capitalist entities, CEO's, large companies, big finance, big tech are on the same side as the "communists". Using the term implies that the point of difference is public vs private ownership of the means of capital, and public vs private renting of people, but that isn't the debate.
This is part of why I think conservatives are losing, many are still fighting the ideological war of the 1940s and 1950s, and are obsolete.
Woke activists aren't really concerned about this.
What they are is closer to a religion.
