    This is just wishy washy vibes though. Historically fascism has risen from the interests of the Capitalist class and Communism has risen from the interests of the working class. Moreover, Communists have historically supported liberatory anti-colonialist movements, such as in Algeria and Palestine, Cuba and South Africa, while fascists have historically supported ever-more agressive colonialism. I suggest you read Blackshirts and Reds by Dr. Michael Parenti, it’s a witty read with intense historical rigor.

      I think you’re actually missing the point. Horseshoe theory doesn’t say left and right want the same things or have the same motivations, it’s more like saying all armies need boots and weapons no matter what they’re fighting for.
