Fascism just as deadly as Communism

MYTH - Communism is MUCH deadlier than Fascism ever was.

We hear from the Reactionary Far Rightists that Communism is bad, really bad. Even worse than Fascism.

Not true.

I have researched it for a long time, and I can say that Fascism is the more sinister of the 2 ideologies.

Communism may have killed 113 million people, but it did this over a period of about 70 years.

If you divide the death toll into the range 1917-1987, you get about 1.7 million people killed a year.

That is horrible, but think about this.

Fascism reigned from 1933 to 1945, and in it about 26 million people were killed.

If you divide the death toll into the years it was around, then you would get about 2.1 million people killed a year.

Think about it for a second, what if Fascism stayed around as long as Communism did?

Also let's look at the death tolls of 2 of the most brutal dictators in the world, Hitler and Stalin.

Stalin was around from 1929 to 1953, he killed 43 million people. That means he killed 1.79 million people a year.

Hitler was around from 1933 to 1945 and killed 21 million people. That means Hitler killed 1.75 million people a year.

Is that really a difference?

Don't let them tell you that Fascism isn't all that bad. It's just as brutal as Communism is.
