If you mean "communist" today, you mean Cuba and Venezuela?  Yes, Cuba and Venezuela hate the Democrats, and the Republicans, because they hate Americans.  You can't count Putin or Xi as communists now ... they are mercantilist autocrats.  The proper term (and it applies to both parties) is Globalist.  Technically they are Mensheviks ... not the classic Bolshevik.  So perhaps to you, Trotsky wasn't a true communist ;-)
We would prefer you use the term "Personsheviks", please.

Trump's presidency is making plain that there is a stark difference between the two.

The parties are diametrically opposed on the following issues (not an exhaustive list):
Abortion, gay marriage (and gay rights in general), global warming (and environmental issues in general), church/state separation, healthcare, taxation of the rich, education, ... and that only scratches the surface.

Bernie may have a variant position on taxing the rich, but then he isn't a real Democrat, the Clintons are.  The other stuff, you are pretty much correct on.

They always have room for more sugar cane workers in Cuba.

You were already crystal clear.  It's just not something PR is willing to accept, unfortunately.

Fox isn't allowed to call itself "News" in Canada, as I understand it. Cold must make people smarter.

I haven't watched Fox in a while, but at this point I think it might be fair to say that MSNBC is just as bad. I really liked MSNBC once upon a time, but at this point they are turning into the Onion. Maybe even more absurd than the Onion.

Trump saying "America first" is dark and Hitlerian!

Chancellor Merkel wasn't amused.  Germany is afraid we aren't their bitch anymore.  This is why the Nato reaction ... without the US, they need to study Russian ... just like they already did in 1815.  Not as bad as it sounds, the Russians are always under the sway of French croissants ... and that really pisses the Germans off.

The Committee to Defend America First was an isolationist group that existed for about a year before Pearl Harbor. On Dec. 8th, 1941, it closed its offices for good.

The isolationists wanted to ignore what Hitler was doing in Europe, "it's not our problem!" Happily, the American public thought the Axis was a problem. Polls showed greater than 65% said we have to fight the Axis sooner or later, and that they were a threat to the US way of life. Polls also showed that the majority were okay with arming US freighters for defense against the U-boats, even if that meant war with Germany.

The principle star of the America First show was Charles Lindbergh, who quite happily let Herman Goering lead him around Germany by the nose and failed to check the tail numbers of the "many" airplanes he saw there. His estimate of German airpower was 3 times higher than reality. He got a medal encrusted with swastikas for that bit of aid-and-comfort.

Yeah, I mean I guess it sounds ridiculous, if you don't know history and don't understand the reference...

No, that people that live in colder weather are generally smarter and more educated

Trotsky was a Menshevik.  He understood the rise of Hitler even better than Churchill.  He also understood Stalin even better than Churchill.  But then he was Jewish ;-)

The neo-libs are basically Mensheviks, in the US and around the First World.  Totalitarian internationalist, rather than totalitarian nationalist (like Hitler and Churchill).

So yes, the historical references are obvious, to Mensheviks.  They think that all Germans are Nazis, and that all Nazis are Hitler.  Slavs and Jews have good reasons to fear Germans.  And Trump is German-American.  So is my mother.  You will all be made to bake strudel and like it!  Churchill initially admired Mussolini.  The British Royal Family was pro-German and initially pro-Nazi (until King Edward abdicated).  They recently brought out the old photo of young Princess Elizabeth making the Zeig Heil ... and one of her grandsons got in trouble at a fancy dress party dressed as a Hitler-Jungen.
