    Just ask them how come you can find plenty of swastikas at Trump rallies, plenty of merchants selling them too, but none of either at Democratic rallies?

    Are the communists supporting the Republicans?

    Are the Republicans communists?

    Finally why is the person you’re talking to aligning themselves with communist sympathisers?

      That doesn’t really hold water too well. Most european right wing parties, including those which are veiled neonazis, have close ties with Russia. The Russia, which has a leader cult around someone who claims to be stomping out Neonazis in the Ukraine.

      Many of them also have ties with China, which officially is still communist and also is best friends with the leader-cult leader in Russia.

      Most often international “friend groups” are determined by the “enemy-of-my-enemy” principle, and not by ideological similarities.
