In what sense is it a deception? Observers from George Orwell to 
Hannah Arendt found the similarities of political practice between 
Nazis and Stalinists, communists and fascists, to be remarkable. 
Zinoviev and Kamenev's last words may have been that they were 
victims of a fascist coup.

Orwell, Arendt, Zinoviev, Kamenev--that's pretty good company to be in...
