Strange but true, the policy of appeasing Hitler was rooted in the premise that anti-fascism was as bad as or worse than fascism.

You're making this way too complicated. Chamberlain just misjudged Hitler, period.

I don't think there's any debate among mainstream historians (say D.C. Watt) that anti-communism was a factor in appeasement. Debate is 1/2

Chamberlain knew, as did his military, that Britain would lose against Germany in months. His "appeasement" gave UK enough time to prepare.

This is nonsense. *Some* British politicians may have supported appeasement on those grounds, but Chamberlain absolutely did not.

Chamberlain appeased Hitler to buy time to rearm as the British military was hopelessly underprepared for war in 1938.

The most inveterately anti-communist, pro-empire politician in Britain was also the most uncompromising opponent of Nazism.
