I’m specifically responding to whoever “both sidesed” WW2. In many ways Nazis “perfected” the process that the US and other settlers used against the Natives and took racism and colonialism to its most horrific form. The point I’m making is that the Nazis were somehow even worse than any previous crime against humanity to such an extent that you shouldn’t equivocate the sheer scale and speed of what they did. This “well liberals and moderates do bad things and also fascists do bad things” is the reasoning that the KPD and non-Soviet socialist parties split from each other. The direct consequence of this was the Nazis taking power because they underestimated just how much worse fascists are than any other ideology.
Yeah, this. The Nazis were worse than colonialism for the same reason they were worse than Stalin. You can't simply look at the total number of deaths in each column and say "welp, these two bad things are basically the same." No - one of these is terrible but also logical, an atrocity committed by a government for the traditional reasons of achieving power & acquiring territory. The other is serial killer-level insanity. I'm not making an argument that colonialism is moral, far from it. I'm saying that fascism is uniquely dangerous precisely because of its illogical nature. It is possible to negotiate with colonial powers and sometimes to mitigate the damage they have caused; there is no negotiation with fascists.

Put another way - there are things colonial powers won't do, because they're pointless or counterproductive or unprofitable. There is *nothing* fascists won't do.

Does anybody have any reading material wrt to media treatment of antifascist organization in the 30s, media and business supporting nazis, etc...?

It's not directly on that, but Stephen J. Ross's Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America is a really interesting book about anti-Nazi work in America in the 1930s. There were three big groups, secret agents from the actual Gestapo, the German-American Bund, which had its roots as a social club for German immigrants, and which had leadership which admired Hitler, and homegrown fascists like the KKK and the Silver Shirt movement. There are eerie parallels with current Antifa tactics. A small group of amateur anti-Nazi Americans managed to thoroughly infiltrate the Nazis, because their opsec was ludicrously bad. The Nazis definitely wanted to kill a whole bunch of people, starting with American Jews, but never really managed to organize beyond small gangs of street fighters. The cops and the government thought that the Nazis had the right idea, and were on their side right up until Pearl Harbor. Meanwhile, the studio bosses, many of whom were Jewish and were at the time the highest paid people in America, tolerated Nazi organizers on their sets and Nazi censorship of their films because they didn't want to lose money.

I think you'll find that the Nazis actually only turned imperialism back onto Europe and did not differ much in their methods, intent, or scope. To argue otherwise is to erase the crimes of colonialism and imperialism which apparently are far worse than either you know or are willing to acknowledge

I’m more at the point that the holocaust is worse and playing a game of number comparing. Like unfortunately the holocaust has kind of become a badge for people who never really experienced it to prove their superiority. Like if you have to get into a which is worse you are obviously downplaying others by necessity

I'm quite aware of the crimes of colonialism & imperialism, but I think you're wrong when it comes to "intent" here. The Nazis were imperialist *also* and their treatment of occupied countries falls into that category, but their treatment of the Jews & Roma is a whole different category. I'm arguing that the Nazis are different and needed to be handled differently, not that colonialism didn't perpetrate equal or worse atrocities (e.g. in the Belgian Congo). It's like comparing the Mafia to Ted Bundy - the body count is not the only thing that matters.
