    I’ve always found it odd why we don’t treat communism in the same vein as Nazism.

    They’re both horrific ideologies that have led to the deaths of millions, but one is considered trendy.

      It’s not “considered trendy”, your understanding of communism – an economic system – is just conflated with authoritarianism – a political system. You can advocate for one without advocating for the other.

      That said, capitalism also leads to the deaths of millions, but somehow that’s just an unquestionable fact of life.
