"Let me go on record that I regard communism as expressed by the U.S.S.R. and its friends here and elsewhere as a grisly horror, a tyranny maintained by force and terror, utterly subversive of human liberty, freedom of thought, and dignity. I regard it as Red fascism, distinguishable from black and brown fascism by differences of no importance to me nor to its victims." -- Robert Heinlein
This is exactly how I feel about it, as well. Via Instapundit, who's highlighting yet another book pointing out just how horrible red, black, and brown really were.
I honestly can't imagine anyone who would actually not see the similarities, assuming they've taken even the most cursory of history courses.
Of course, if you've got an agenda, all bets are off. Both sides of the aisle, and their supporters, tend to ignore any inconvenient facts.
