Conservatives can’t let people know that nazism is just a flavor of conservatism. They can’t have people openly pointing out how every genocide ever commited in human history was caused by conservatives.
Conservatives would rather burn everything to the ground than admit they are all racist, dog-fucking, traitor, pedophile bigots. It’s almost like they can feel shame. They can’t, but it almost seems like it.

While I’m mostly with you on hating conservatives and being against genocide, the sentence above simply isn’t true unless you consider Stalin a conservative. And arguably Mao too, although most of the people he had killed were the same ethnicity as himself. But his explicit goal was to erase an entire culture; it just happened to be the culture he originally came from. Oh an Pol Pot wasn’t a conservative, nor the Myanmar military junta.
Honestly we can trash conservatives to our hearts’ content for generally being the ones in history to support and perform genocide, but as soon as we make absolute statements like “every genocide ever committed in human history” then we start to weaken our argument, so it’s better to patch those holes now in friendly waters rather than waiting till we’re surrounded by enemies to notice them. That’s why I point it out, not to be contrarian.
That’s kind of revisionist and comes off like right-wingers claiming the nazis were socialists.
If Mao was socially conservative within the historical context, he wouldn’t have made it his entire thing to overthrow the ways of the past which he viewed as backwards and archaic. That’s the whole reason it was called the “cultural revolution.”

Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were all social conservatives. So were their supporters.
