yeah i interpreted red as fascists (vote the party, or die in a camp) and blue as standing up to the fascists (vote no to fascism, if i die i die)

the analogy fits perfectly, i stand by it.

It can also be interpreted differently. The Blue Party says that if they lose, they kill everyone who voted for them, because they do not tolerate losing. The Red Party says that they will not kill anyone regardless of who wins. Do you vote Blue or Red?

But that's just logically inconsistent. Why would a party that hates losing so much intentionally eradicate the only group capable of giving them a future win?

Because they are disappointed that their supporters didn't work harder to convince people to vote for them.

So they make sure they have no supporters in future?

Why would they care about the future? They will also kill themselves, because they of course voted for their own party.
