Two Sides of Evil

Great piece by Marc Thiessen on the similarities of neo-Nazis and antifa. The excerpt below sums up the peril we now face:
"Neo-Nazis are the violent advocates of a murderous ideology that killed 25 million people last century. Antifa members are the violent advocates of a murderous ideology that, according to “The Black Book of Communism,” killed between 85 million and 100 million people last century. Both practice violence and preach hate. They are morally indistinguishable. There is no difference between those who beat innocent people in the name of the ideology that gave us Hitler and Himmler and those who beat innocent people in the name of the ideology that gave us Stalin and Dzerzhinsky."
How quickly the free and comfortable forget the horrors of totalitarianism. We are in danger of repeating a terrible chapter of history, and we are obligated to take a firm stand to prevent it from happening again.
