The trivialization of nazism by the left-wing and its blindness to the murderers of Jews

If the nazis of 1933 were to reappear now, they would find themselves in a purely Kafkaesque situation in relation to the ideology they defended.

Who are the true heirs of nazi antisemitism at the present time?
The cover-up of the real nazis by a left wing that claims to see nazis everywhere

Those national-socialists (let us remember that the word "nazi" arose as a way for their far-right competitors to ridicule Hitler's followers, as it evoked the Ashkenazi Jews of Central Europe) would see the left calling conservatives, liberals, those who reject Islamism (which, in case anyone has forgotten, was an ally of the Third Reich, since both shared a morbid hatred of the Jewish people) and even Jews, who today are the target of a new wave of antisemitism fueled largely by the extreme left.

In their eagerness to demonize anyone who doesn't submit to their ideological dogmas, the left has turned half the world into "nazis." This is not a new phenomenon, neither for its simplicity nor its cynicism. Let's recall, as an example, that in June 1945, the Soviet Union condemned 16 members of the Polish resistance against the Germans under the false accusation of collaborating with nazism. It was a sham trial that today represents a sample of the libels that communism launched against a resistance movement that did not want to submit to its dictates, since it was mostly made up of Catholics who were fighting for a democratic and free Poland.

What the left is doing is trivializing nazism, a very dangerous practice. National Socialism was a totalitarian and criminal movement that murdered millions of people. Calling millions of people who are not "nazis" contributes to emptying that phrase of meaning, promoting the forgetting of its terrible crimes and trivializing its actions. In fact, the left is succeeding in making the real nazis (because unfortunately they still exist) go unnoticed amidst this wave of false accusations against many people who do not share that perverse ideology in the slightest.

The greatest paradox these old National Socialists would encounter today is seeing that same left wing that sees nazis everywhere exhibiting, at the same time, a total blindness to modern-day murderers of Jews. We don't have to go very far back in time to find examples of this behavior. On October 7, 2023, Israel suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history and the worst antisemitic massacre since the Holocaust. Entire families were tortured and murdered for being Jewish at the hands of Islamist extremists supported by Iran, a dictatorship that has repeatedly denied the Holocaust, just as nazi nostalgics continue to do today. Instead of condemning this massacre, some on the left have criminalized Israel for defending itself and fueled the largest hate campaign against Jews since World War II.

Certain sectors of the left are not content to turn a blind eye to the crimes of these murderers of Jews. In Spain, we have seen parties with representation in the institutions boasting of the support of antisemitic terrorists (something they do not do secretly and discreetly, but in public events) and a communist minister supporting a march by a terrorist group that supported that anti-Semitic massacre of September 7, 2023. And these are the same people who then go around calling right-wingers and even Jews "nazis." It's a fanatical left wing, full of hatred and without the slightest shred of shame or decency.
