The British communists, you mean? The ones that were pissed that the Soviets were violently crushing other communists for daring to object to their oppression? The ones that coined a term for their fellow Brits out of disgust that they were cheering it on?

The Hungarian uprising? The one prominently featuring Nazi collaborators? That the one you’re so concerned about?

Nazi = National Socialist

This is what British communism was about and what British communists fought so hard to defend

You're just being racist because you're not respecting their culture and material conditions that shaped their unique version of communism /s
