‘Finland mobilized a greater proportion of its small population than any of the other combatants, including Germany (476,000 men from 3.7 million inhabitants). […] Relative to the Finnish population (3.7 million), this was a greater mobilization than in any other country involved in the Second World War. […] Together [Berlin’s] allies in 1941 mobilized well over 700,000 troops for the war against the Soviet Union[.]’

Actually, yeah, this history is often understated or not talked about at all.
Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.
For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.
