We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

For the government to bring a bunch over in Project Paperclip? I don't think they were ever against fascism; they didn't like Hitler's version because they didn't benefit.
And even then there was significant support for the nazis among influential whites, before they started threatening the territorial integrity of Western nations. The US's principled opposition to fascism has always been a retcon.
Though while I don't like how it completely blinds Americans to the dangers of homegrown fascism, I will say there are much worse stories to base a national mythology on. In that sense it was nice while it lasted. Pretty much the same goes for Russia.
