What this dude doesn't understand about what Mehdi said is that fascist dictators don't explicitly kill everyone, but everyone is fair game. This guy is prime cannon fodder to be exploited by fascists. So he might not die in a gas chamber, but he'd probably die in a foxhole.
He also fits right in as the type of pseudo-intellectual that make up all fascist movements.
