"And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died."

I understand your point, but at best you are only referring to the Third Reich. Even that's questionable.

But the lyrics continue:

So if you meet with these historians

I'll tell you what to say

Tell them that the Nazis

Never really went away

And when in history was fascism defeated?

We must not live in the same timeline or something.

The fascists in Germany were beaten back by the Red Army. Fascism will keep growing back whenever capitalism runs into crisis, but it remains true that force is required to stamp out fascism, and the group most willing to do so is the organized working class.
