Seriously i thought that was the obvious part. The demons are an an allegory for fascists if we were to say they represented any people at all.

    When your allegory for fascists is a core pillar of fascist ideology (the ontologically evil race that can be righteously exterminated), your message is going to get muddled.

    Yeah i think thats the issue with giving demons human forms here. If the demons were just talking non humanoid monsters or shapeshifters or explicitly nonhuman constructs it wouldnt be such a shit analogy.

    The argument being made has nothing to do with whether the demons are evil within the context of the fiction and everything to do with the ideology with which the concept of an inherently evil racial enemy aligns.
