And yet the hammer and sickle are regarded as symbols of freedom and Marxism is regarded as a movement to empower the oppressed. How revolting. Adherents to Communist ideology have killed many millions more than Nazis ever dreamed of and caused untold amounts of devastation over the past century.

Where?

Because it is. That is literally the entire point of Marxism.

Marxism != Communism.

I'm more towards AnCom myself, but Marxism makes some extremely valid points about the exploitation of labor.

This article is mostly not about Nazis (search for it, it shows up once, and just one out of a number of examples). I'm a bit baffled why you think it is.
Not only that, but communism is still an ongoing danger, unlike Nazism. Venezuela just experienced it. Zimbabwe a decade before, and now South Africa is slipping closer towards it. It's a real danger to human life but somehow people celebrate it.
lol, "nazism is not an ongoing danger"

This is amazing, it's like Charlottesville never happened and Bannon never had the president's ear.

The situations in those countries are a lot more complicated than simply "COMMUNISM!".
