Because at a very superficial level it seems a solution to the inequalities inherent to free markets - you can't have winners without losers. Younger people are particularly prone to seeing communism as an amazing solution that simply has not been done right, seeing themselves as having found the one true implementation that would actually work. The reason it skews more this way for younger people is a combination of lack of experience, limited exposure to working life, incomplete brain development, and academia presenting both ideology and an artificial world on which they base their views.

After World War 2 everybody quite rightly condemned National Socialism, with a great deal of research into how ostensibly normal people could be part of it. Given the political leanings of the most prominent researchers, it's not a surprise that they considered this exclusively a right-wing problem. It was only later that further research into the authoritarian personality considered the left. With decades of apologising for and concealing the obvious parallels in communism and other far left ideologies, the left never saw the scrutiny it should have received while filling mass graves pretty much everywhere it was tried. We're now left with people not realising how terrible communism is. Had things been done right, extolling communism would be viewed the way we view people who quibble over the numbers exterminated by the National Socialists.

Many didn't, and many who did didn't do so on their own accord. In order to justify their own atrocities, the Allies had to turn Hitler into a comic book villain. But most Germans who actually lived through that era continue to hold him in high regard.

"The Authoritarian Personality" is Jewish pseudoscience. It is simply a means of pathologizing White society.

    what's a "white society"?

    The sorts of orderly, high-trust societies that White people create (in Europe, or elsewhere - e.g. USA, Australia, and Rhodesia are still fundamentally "European" in character), along with their basic institutions: patriarchy, monogamy, Christianity, and so on.

    Whites have been killing each others over petty squabbles for centuries just like any other races.

    War is a fact of life. Whites do tend to be better about impulsive violence, though. Over the course of centuries, Whites (and Asians) executed their violent criminals, and this had a lasting effect on the gene pool. Whites (and Asians) have a greater tendency to be obedient and "civilized," and this is a big reason why these societies are nice places to live in, although it's somewhat harmful today - Whites are following their trusted authorities and institutions, which have become corrupted, to their doom.

    I don't think so. Hitler was a mad man and a complete incompetent, a bit like Trump.

    Trump is not a dumb guy, but he's also no Hitler. Trump was a client of Jeffrey Epstein, thus he was subject to the whims of Jewry. They noticed a rising current of nationalism, and Trump arrived to be a sponge, to absorb and neutralize White identitarianism.

    And a coward, since he committed suicide... at least his generals had the decency to let themselves be executed.

    Goebbels, Goering, and Himmler also allegedly killed themselves. I won't fault anyone for choosing to avoid torture at the hands of Bolshevik Jews. And there are many traditions of honourable suicide - seppuku, Socrates, Masada. Although, I do entertain the idea that he retired to Brazil.
