I\\\'m confused over the in-universe label.

As the page reads, \\\"How do you know if something deserves linking to this page? Well, it might be overused, funny, or nothing to most people. If just a few people cringe at something, well... if more people are amused than disgusted, then it\\\'s not justified to put a stop to it. But if a large number of people are offended or outright traumatized, well, to them, it is not funny.\\\"

Basically, the trope page sounds like it contradicts itself. The trope is about audience reactions but the examples are supposed to be in-universe only. Can someone explain this please?

They may have both hated capitalism and had totalitarian leanings, but the point of fascism was to crush communism and replace it with an idealistic system where national culture was glorified instead of deconstructed.

Plus, although branches of communism descended from the Leninist line are authoritarian, Marxism itself is perfectly compatible with democracy. Many Orthodox Marxists criticized Lenin for his interpretations, however, we don\\\'t hear much about them today because they were all brutally murdered by the Nazis (hence this trope), leaving only Leninism left.

So, identifying them as political opposites is valid.
