[Comments under “A “concentration camp” has been established in a Munich courtyard by children playing as "Brownshirts" who rounded up other children playing as "Communists" who were in their "Liebknecht House", April 15, 1933 [543*462]”]

This "children emulate Nazis" is a bit histrionic. First, a "concentration camp" is just a place of internment and is not inherently evil. The first Nazi concentration camp (Dachau) was established in March of 1933, which would have been after this photo is taken. Second, the Communists were hardly angels here. The KPD was Stalinist in ideology and was in direct contact with the USSR. There's no reason to believe that, had they been elected, they wouldn't have implemented their own form of fascism to mirror the Soviet system.

It's worth noting the photos were likely staged. But even if it weren't, kids play this sort of "cops and robbers" games all the time. Well, they used to anyway.

Nazis are evil according to Reddit, despite the fact that they were the only force committed to destroying communism.
