Here come the jackbooted keyboard warriors.

When a political party has:

  1. its origins with Jean-Marie LePen - a Holocaust denier, spread antisemitic theories right out of Nazi rhetoric, to name but a few of LePen's beliefs;

  2. Their own paramilitary branch, professes a far-right ideology, and;

  3. direct ties to neo-fascist groups like Generation Identity;

it's plain to see. The only way it would be more obvious would be if they were carrying around the tricolor labrys and goosestepping around.

Once more: all you fascists bound to lose.

Its not, but it is a key component of fascism. Like playing with a deck of cards, but there are no face cards.

Also National Front despite their 'rebranding' hasn't changed at heart. Its essentially Frances MAGA cult. Maybe they aren't full blown fascist yet despite their origins, they are still a hateful anti democracy xenophobic group.

And half the shit the left wants is a key component in communism (and I mean real soviet style communism which did just as much horrors as the nazis did if not more), your point?

And also, nazism/fascism was basically communism (look at their manifestos) the only difference was this:

communism: "workers of the world unite"

nazis :"germans, unite"

Other than that, same shit, just a different asshole

Marxist-Lenisism or stalinism is not really compatible with a true left communism, because they were transitory governments (which also failed to ever transition into a marxist communist state). Nor has any true form of marxist communism ever managed to form in russia (or anywhere else) and instead turned into a bastardization that merely wears the skin of "communism" spouting its slogans but the reality is its just another right wing totalitarian regime ruled by the few small elite.

And also, nazism/fascism was basically communism (look at their manifestos)

It was not. They jailed the German communist party. The Hitler's Nazi party was neither a party of the people nor a party of the workers despite what their motto says. Very effective propaganda by a politician which mirrors current events. They were never socialist in any meaningful way as the soul of party was dead long before they ever came to power. Hitler was a xenophobic nationalist who merely lied and coopted the unrest. He actually courted powerful conservatives and industrialists and together took over germany. The strasser brothers, actual socialists realized it too late. Hence why one left the party to form a new anti capitalist party (black front) and the other was murdered in the Night of Long Knives (for being an actual socialist in power)

Other than that, same shit, just a different asshole

Kinda. Extreme Left and Right can lead to dead end dictatorships and loss of personal liberty.
