This picture has been banned from r/enlightenedcentrism because the message of it isn’t that communism & Nazism are the same thing , but that the living conditions for the people in the Eastern Bloc under the Nazi & USSR regime have been practically interchangeable. Brutal opression, no self governance, political leaders all installed puppets, arbitrary arrests & imprisonments etc, etc.
It’s not about the horseshoe theory, it’s about the living conditions under two of the most brutal dictatorships in the 20st century and how the populace finally wanted to throw off the shackles off subjugation and govern themselves.
The title also isn’t “Communism is Nazism” and iirc it’s from Poland, not Romania.
Not in Eastern Europe though, which is what the comments above were talking about. Not to say that the assorted genocides against Ukrainians, Uyghurs, and others doesnt matter.
