I think it's a great idea, because comparing First and Second World Wars is kinds stupid. One was war of English and French capital against German capital, the other was war of the People against fascism.

Now see, I know that you are referring to the liberal régimes like Imperial America, but eleven months ago I had a strange dream about confirmed Fascists who fought for the Allies, and it turned out that there were indeed some.

In the same vein, some Fascists refused to go to war against the RSI, while others joined the Royal Army, considering this the honorable (and Fascist) thing to do. In perhaps the greatest irony imaginable, eager draftees in May 1944 shouted “Hail Mussolini! Duce! Duce!” when in fact the army they were joining was at war with Mussolini.⁷⁵

How the hell do you even reconcile that view while fighting Mussolini's army?

The best explanation that I can propose is that they simply had not yet heard the news that Benito Mussolini was the official head of the Salò régime.

That is certainly easy to understand from the perspectives of the Soviet Union, the Mongolian People’s Republic, and all of the socialist paramilitaries (including the CPC). Unfortunately, the Western Allies did not fight the Axis in order to defeat Fascism, hence why nobody invaded Iberia’s parafascist empires.

I used to think that World War I was boring because I could not sympathize with any of the sides. However, after I watched videos of The Entente Gold, and more importantly, after I learnt about the Meds Yeghern, I finally started taking WWI seriously. WWI was not just another silly game of empires competing for resources: it involved ordinary people, like us, struggling against their oppressors. That being said, calling this the ‘World Anti-Imperialist War’ would be too misleading, much like referring to its sequel as the ‘World Anti-Fascist War’ is, even though I could understand how somebody else would arrive at those conclusions.
