Well, it's CNN so... so it's just GOTTA be down home propaganda for public consumption.
As to the guy who mentioned people going to Spain to fight fascism back in the 1930s, yeah that was a real thing.... I think Americans formed the Lincoln Brigade (or some name like that) and a bunch of them got killed, captured, executed, or otherwise rendered ineffective. But here's the thing.... most of them were COMMUNISTS -- AMERICAN COMMUNISTS -- out to fight the fascist Spanish regime. Just like Communists and Fascist fought it out in Germany at that time.

And Communists vs Fascists was just infighting. Socialists are just Communists who have adopted what they think is a less scary name.
