The world wars are a big legimating factor for western liberal governments to manufacture consent. It makes sense then that liberals would engage in this sort of hypothetical analysis because they have been indoctrinated to think that everything would be so much worse if the “good guys” hadn’t won.
Damn, it’s the day of discussing totalitarianism for me=)
Yeah, that’s another reason for the concept. Equating commies and nazis is a good way to separate themselves from “those authoritarian ones”. Two birds with one stone - you discredit communism and separate yourself from what you’re heading into sooner or later nazis.
