    The western definition of nazi as either “bully” or “strictly anti-semitic” really helps obfuscate them. Like Disney’s involvement in the Red Scare is his most openly nazi action, but this implicated how many Americans are close to nazism so we cannot use that definition

      American education tries soooo hard to obscure the fact that anti-communism is probably the defining feature of Naziism, with anti-semitism being an extension of it. They didn’t just hate Jews, they hated communism and believed it was a Jewish plot.
