I wish ledditors would stop making me trot out respected Jewish holocaust historian saying "for the love of God, equating fascists and communists is holocaust trivialization and has been used to prosecute Jewish survivors of the holocaust"

Implying fascist dictatorships were actually communist.

See, you could read the article instead of doing the thing described in the article as holocaust trivialization

Just because millions of people aren't being systematically executed specifically based on race doesn't make it not a genocide, and just because someone isn't literally the single most racist person ever to walk the earth doesn't make them not a fascist

I'm reading it and I'm still not seeing the relevance. Nowhere did the person you're replying to compare anything to the Holocaust.
