It's been a day or so and nope, we still can't wrap our head around why GitHub would fire someone for saying Nazis were storming the US Capitol

Re: Communist = Nazist

Wow - what a lot of false equivalence. The Nazis were a particularly unpleasant death cult. Many communist regimes have acted with equivalent unpleasantness. But that does not mean Nazi = Communist. And communism with a small c is a political philosophy that at least aspires to maximise human happiness. It may well be an impractical political philosophy, because it may be that human beings are too venal to make it work. Not sure there is such a thing as a small n Nazi - about the best that could be said is the incarnations of fascist states may have been slightly less hypocritical.

Anyway - seems like no one felt the need to worry about communists storming the Capitol, so why are we talking about them?
