There’s a wide variety and storied history of anti-communist organization that acted as fronts or ways to recruit fascists. George Lincoln Rockwell was part of an anti-communist organization, lots of Ayn Randians fell into fascism, groups like the John Birch Society, or Willis Carto’s Liberty Lobby, the heritage foundation.
They are closely associated, I have every right to joke about it after you’ve misidentified me as a communist.
The choosing to complain about Tankies in the current era of Capitalist corruption and Trump style fascism can its self be interpreted as fascist leaning (contextually) or at the very least, tone def to the actual proportions of the world’s problems right now.
(tankies are proportionally invisible in all democracies).
The truth is anti-communism and fascism have a long and storied history - hell look at who the Nazis went after.
Pressing on after I apologized as if it’s a police investigation was its self a dick move. You wanted total demoralization by begging that I conceed further “see you were quacking like a Communist” after I clarified that I wasn’t one… and now you’re still here? We’re ONLY here because you couldn’t stop and let it go.

True, but does not substantially support your argument that I’m a fascist.
They are closely associated, I have every right to joke about it after you’ve misidentified me as a communist (red scare style).
To say that my suspicion you could be a tankie (not a communist - because not all communists are tankies) is Red Scare shenanigans is a pretty clear overreaction. Let’s flip the script so you can see what I mean, starting with your ad hominem from earlier:
Imagine a thread where the Holocaust was being discussed.
Now imagine someone hopping in with the following out of nowhere:
“Did you know the nazis’ camps weren’t even illegal at the time? The Nuremberg Trials were convened explicitly because there was no law prohibiting their atrocities, and the term “crimes against humanity” and their subsequent trial ex post facto had no legal precedent! That’s not something most people know!”
… okay, sure, but… why insert that unless you’re a fact-bot spitting out random related facts or you’re a nazi? So if I mention that’s kinda suspicious and they blow their lid, does your suspicion of them increase or decrease?

Kinda rich to police my internet etiquette when you so happily embrace ad hominem.
Not that I expect a good faith reply from you, but mostly just to signal to anyone reading that I’m unwilling to return the disrespect you started:
What exactly have I said that’s capitalist or fascist?
