Why is the Stasi, a state organ responsible for countering all the fascist groups the US was still backing, comparable to the state organs of the Nazi Germany that the communists were intent on destroying?
Who you say you are fighting is irrelevant. It is how you do it.
The first comparison wasn't about ideologies, it was about spying the population and the stasi took it to a whole new level.
Those governments weren't trying to destroy nazi organizations, they were trying to destroy anything that it wasn't them and people suffered for that.
