1. There are lies of commission, and lies of omission. Today's Trivia.com question represents one of those examples of how thinking is manipulated even when facts are provided.
The Progressives/Democrats/Liberals of the 20th century was strongly allied with the totalitarians, both in Germany and in the Soviet Union.
When the horrors of the Holocaust were revealed, they needed to dissociate themselves with the Fascists, and, paint the Right as being Nazis.
2. Now...take the Holocaust as an example....although one American President actually authorized concentration camps for his citizens, and while Nazis, Fascists, and Communists were once one big, comfortable association with American Progressives and that very same President, with the unveiling of the catalogue of Nazi crimes, caused American Progressives to suddenly claim that....no, Nazis were not really of the Left...they had to be the very opposite.
The Nazis were as much socialists as the Bolsheviks and today's Democrats.
3. "American progressives, for the most part, did not disavow fascism until the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust became manifest during World War II. After the war, those progressives who had praised Mussolini and Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s had no choice but to dissociate themselves from fascism. “Accordingly,” writes Jonah Goldberg, “leftist intellectuals redefined fascism as 'right-wing' and projected their own sins onto conservatives, even as they continued to borrow heavily from fascist and pre-fascist thought.” This progressive campaign to recast fascism as the "right-wing" antithesis of communism was aided by Joseph Stalin,..."

4. We find that control of the dissemination of information allows the Communists to be portrayed in a sympathetic light. Today, Trivia.com's question is which country lost the greatest number of its citizens in WWII.
"Answer: World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history in terms of total dead, with some 75 million casualties including military and civilians, many of whom died due to genocide, massacres, mass bombings, disease, and starvation. The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war, including 8.7 million military and 19 million civilians. This represents the most military deaths of any nation by a large margin. The People's Republic of China estimates 20 million deaths from the conflict and approximately 8 million deaths in Germany."

This compassionate slant on Communism is why neo-Marxist Democrat Party has been so successful in America.

World War II left over 27 million Soviet citizens dead....but only a fraction of them were killed by the Germans. Yet throughout the West. 'war crimes' is a phrase only attached to the Nazis. When the Red Army marched, an NKVD army marched behind, with its own tanks, machine guns, firing forward....never allowing retreat. More than a million Soviet citizens joined the Nazis. Ask yourself this: why was it that the USSR, of all the Allies, had provided the enemy with thousands of recruits? Nearly one million Russian and other anti-Soviet men joined the enemy of their Soviet Army.
"The Secret Betrayal" by Nikolai Tolstoy, p. 19-20.
The Soviet Union killed more than twenty million men, women and children.
