Why is the left not demonized for aligning with Communists?

This is what truly blows my mind. Anyone who aligns with Nazi/Fascist idealogy is immediately chastised/ridiculed and rightfully so.

But the left gets a pass on aligning and embracing communism. They even do it more openly and in much larger numbers than anyone on the right does with nazism or white supremism.

Antifa flies the Soviet sickle and hammer all the time. The Soviet Union murdered over 40 million people alone. Communism murdered over 200 million and continues to do so today. It has just as much an ugly history as fascism.

Liberals whine about "how could trump put the antifa protestors on the same moral equivalency as Nazis?" Well because they are. Both idealogical are evil, immoral, and oppressive.
Both believe in large oppressive government.
Both believe in censorship.
Both believe in punishing the political opposition.
Both believe in state controlled economies.

Know what idealogy hasn't murdered millions and gives everyone a voice, freedom, and opportunity to succeed if you try hard enough? Western Democracy and free market capitalism.

Any American holding a Nazi flag or communist flag is disturbing. They both should be called out. There is nothing noble in their cause. They should be marginalized and shamed because neither idealogy is American and has no place in America.

Because it's a means to an end. The enemy of my enemy is my friend is dead on in this instance. They are united in white hot hatred towards a man all while lecturing us about the evils of hate.

Yep, academia, pop culture and the Enemedia are what comprises the "three headed monster" of the "fundamental transformation" of America.

The same reason there is a Lenin statue in Seattle and you can eat at a Genghis Grill and you can buy Che Guavera and Fidel Castro products on Amazon, but not Nazi or Confederate items.

People are stupid and have no sense of history.

Nazi = dead jews

Confederate = slaves

There is no simple, visual context to portray the other evil people and political systems.

"That wasn't really Communism"

They spout that line and follow it up with "communism and socialism believe in universal healthcare, fair wages, eliminating the wage gap, education, etc."

White nationalists really have no redeeming qualities.

Because the left isn't selling Communism. They are selling Socialism, "Done the right way", and rainbows and unicorn fluffy shite.
It's all in the packaging.

Now you're just nitpicking. We are a democratic republic which is a form of representative democracy. We used to be a free market. I did not claim that we currently are. I only said free market capitalism gives everyone a fair shot which is true. Our current system of regulations and protectionism keeps millions from ever being able to compete and creates corporate monopolies.

and they have been at least since the 30's.

Walter Duranty was apologizing for Stalin in 1932 in the New York Times, was given a Pulitzer Prize for it by the other asshats in journalism at the time.
