hiring ex-Nazis as spies, versus strategically installing some of the most powerful Nazis, like Reinhard Gehlen, to reconstitute Nazi ideology bit by bit gradually across Europe, expressing itself very clearly in jackbooted pigs beating the shit out of Jews, Arabs, queers at anti-genocide protests.

You can cry “authoritarianism” as much as you want, but the fact of the matter is that under capitalism, we know by now where bourgeois “democracy” leads. It leads HERE. Is this your ideal government? or do you think this kind of politics/ideology should be ruthlessly fought? That’s the question.

Again there is simply no comparison. Consider what the NATO version of this was doing and continued to do: Gladio in Italy, the Piazza Fontana bombing, the assassination of Aldo Moro, the Brabant killings, even the Dutroux child trafficking network is deeply tied to US/Nazi “stay behind” networks.
