I wonder if BLM knows Antifa was allied with Hitler and helped him come to power. It feels as if that would be a source of tension, given BLM's focus on history. Does Antifa owe reparations to anyone who lost a family member or property to Nazi Germany?

It's historically not correct to say Communists and Nazis were allies. They both wanted to overthrow the Weimar Republic but they also fought each other simultaneously. Having the same goal doesn't make groups allies. Compare to protesters against removing Confederate statues.

Antifa bowed to Stalin, not Hitler, but preferred Hitler to the German government that was in power. And fought on the same side. "Allied" is close enough.

If they had been allied, I would have expected that Antifa were "marching with" the Nazis. But they weren't.

The U.S. was allied with Stalin against Hitler in WW2. But we didn't do much marching together.

But you also didn't murder each other while you were fighting Hitler. Nazis and communists in Germany did that while the Republic was still in place.

That had more to do with proximity.

My understanding is that fascists and communists were both socialists. The differences were a matter of scope, not base ideology.
