Maybe because the sight of seeing anarchists, communists, and hard left socialists waving their flags about condemning the horrors of fascism is a bit sick making considering the vast crimes of their own political history.

A bit of historical revisionism going on here. With various groups, parties, and individuals all desperate to claim some of the glory. For example, the Communist Party of Great Britain. The only problem is, not only did British communist's actively work to undermine the war effort against nazism (as ordered to do so by the kremlin-at a time when nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were allied), but they also attempted to cover up the vast crimes carried out by Stalin (no doubt they still do). In fact, I'm guessing that many of these groups would have been crying 'No More War!' in the 1930's, for the exact same reasons as they do now.

greendaytomd96 That is exactly my point. The hard left have been allowed to hijack this event. And with their history their very presence turns the whole thing into a sick joke. Surely, if any of this were to mean anything at all they should've been driven away just as the fascists were all those years ago?

If they had been 'real evil bastards' like you say, they wouldn't have gone to war with nazi Germany.

***** The evidence is there for all to see. Fascism was defeated. Western Europe is democratic and free because of this.

***** Ever heard of George Lansbury? He was the leader of the Labour party in the run up to the war. He was a pacifist, and said pretty much the same as you just have there. He went to meet Hitler. To try to talk things out like two reasonable gentlemen. He was extremely disheartened with the results. Hitler was bored listening to him. Until Lansbury happened to mention the Jews. Then Hitler flew into a rage. You are very ignorant of the facts there. And very naïve. Many politicians in the UK government had served in the first world war. In the actual trenches. They knew first hand that war was not a game. And like I said, Chamberlin was no warmonger. He, along with the French, went along with Hitler's demands in order to avert war. But if you appease tyrants you only encourage them. Lansbury was a good man. But whereas most people on the far left like to describe themselves as pacifists, in reality, they actually support extremist dictatorship. And only really want to disarm the democratic free west. One of the ways to do this is to claim that there is no such thing as freedom. That democracy is a lie. And that democratic western governments are no better than the very worst dictatorships. But if the democratic west is no better than the worst mass murdering tyrant, then no one has any legitimate right to condemn those tyrants and dictators. And anything goes. And the tyrants remain in power. ...Very convenient. Especially if, in reality, you actually support those dictatorships.

@forbiddenrecallskillinguss4012 Then make sure you don't play along with their game - When they draw a line between people. Rub it out.
