Marxists communists had clashed with the Christian communist socialist Nazis, also called fascists, German nationalists & supremacists. Eventually, the Russian communists would defeat Hitler, with help from the rest of the world.
The communists in media and education would call their opponents: fascists, supremacists & nationalists, associating a negative connotation with these words.
The irony is that communism is the most violent ideology of the last century (think Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc) dwarfing the Nazi fascists. Since the communists won and were able to retain power, they were able to propagandize a sanitized narrative of Marxism communism. Even today, people proudly call themselves as communists, in spite of its murderous ideology & history.
