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.

    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.
