A new poll shows World War II's legacy is getting muddled

1. Misguided and historically illiterate.

The 20th Century was NOT the century of Right Wing anything.

That's the Reader's Digest Cliff Notes Imbecilic version of revisionist history.

Here's reality.

The 20th Century was the Century of the clash of Ideologies. Communism vs the Status Quo, Communism vs Fascism, vs Capitalism, vs Religion, vs Oligarchy and the Monarchy, etc... (see all the Colonial Wars)

It actually goes back to the French Revolution and the European Revolutions of 1848...

But to focus on the 20th Century...

By 1900 there was already an undercurrent of anti-tsar, anti-monarchy, anti-capitalist, anti-church sentiments. And revolutions had been successful in Europe in the prior Century...

So after the disastrous Russian entry into WW1, the Russian Revolution began. Of course, the Bolsheviks won.

For the next 20 years... European nations split apart, with the Communists facing off against the institutionalists.

Every European country in the early 20th Century struggled with the Communists seeking change and power.

Each and every "Right Wing" group or Government that sprang up at the time was DIRECTLY in response to the Communists.

Without the Communists... there is no Mussolini or Hitler.

The Tsar and Kaiser would have remained in power. For better or worse...
