So an historical analogy would be voting for the Communists to keep the Nazis out of power?

Hmmm... I suppose you could look at it that way. You have to remember, though, that Hitler siezed power in the early 30's before the communists really got their bad rep. Who knows what a German democratically elected communist government would have been like? Without Hitler, Germany might have become an early version of Sweden today.
