Yeah this happened once during the 2020 July protests in Serbia. As we walked, we passed a WW2 memorial and the guy leading the group took a moment to stop, comment on it and chant "death to fascism" a few times. Then out of the blue two guys started yelling "death to communism".

To be fair, "death to fascism, freedom to the people" is a communist slogan known by everyone from ex-Yugoslavia, but getting triggered by someone disavowing fascism right next to a statue that shows how fascists murdered civilians in raids in your own city is... worrying.

    Not in Eastern Europe. People hate the communists here. They have ruined their countries, basically occupied them.

    None. But plenty of communist monuments that were forced on us that we tore down the second Russia effed off back to home.

    Communism is a disease and the Soviet Union was an imperialist country continuing on with Russia.

    For some reason there seems to be this idea that everything must either be fascist or communist or somewhere between. Like they don't believe in the existence of other political philosophies.

    They're obsessed with the political spectrum being one-dimensional, it isn't.

    The next chant should be "death to fascism, death to capitalism"

    Fascism is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. We need to go back to the correct timeline. Socialism was the improvable system. Capitalism is social darwinism (read: a lie)

    Either one taken to its extreme ends with some sort of despotism. You really need both working together to keep each other in check.

    feel free to prove that point. it is insane. capitalism has never worked for the people, in any country. whereas socialism has worked by itself and for the people very well. the red scare propaganda of "big bad communism" is a hoax. but besides that, the western states had to kill many socialist leaders and destablize many socialist countries (please read about it, its disgusting) to make them seem "unable to work".
