'''Comsymp''' (Communist sympathizer) refers to an individual who either openly extol Communism, particular Communists, or attempts to dismiss and discredit anti-Communism. During the [[Cold War]], the term became popularized by [[movement conservative]]s such as the [[John Birch Society]] as a polemic against leftists, although the concept long predates the word itself. Ever since the outbreak of Communism in the world, sympathizers of various stripes have conspired to undermine opposition.

The German Nazis during the 1920s were a notable comsymping movement, and [[Adolf Hitler]] himself remarked, "I have learned a great deal from Marxism, as I do not hesitate to admit."<ref>Watson, George (November 22, 1998).
