That is a very good point. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were the 4 most evil men of the 20th century, I don't want to get into which of the 4 should take the #1 position because I think it would be tasteless to start arguing that my holocaust was worse than your holocaust, but it's clear that all 4 were dreadful human beings. And yet even today leftists are only comfortable in criticizing one of those 4. I have a theory as to why. Most liberals tend to be academics and the theoretical basis of communism as seen in "The Communist Manifesto" and "Das Kapital" may be economic nonsense but it's not obviously evil; I mean who would object to a workers paradise? In practice Communism was evil but in theory it was just stupid, however even in theory the Nazism in "Mein Kampf" with it's anti-semitism and master race crap was nauseating. > Now you may ask why would leftists who call themselves now, progressives, > side with the Islamists?
