If you subscribe to the Jock-Nerd theory of history you may also appreciate this piece arguing that Italian Fascism and German Nazism represent "jock-douche" and creepy nerd variants of the same ideology. The author actually calls the latter "creepy loser," but it's clear the sort of loser he has in mind is a nerdy one. And if you read Mein Kampf (which I have!), you will see that Hitler had a wide range of stereotypically nerdy obsessions.
I have many reservations about this theory. But it's hard to deny there's SOMETHING to it.
Can we apply similar classifications to communist movements? Most definitely! Early Soviet communism clearly falls on the creepy nerd side of the line. Many of the early Bolsheviks (including Lenin and Trotsky) definitely had a creepy nerd vibe. Indeed, the Bolsheviks got their name (Russian for "majority") because Lenin was such an annoying jerk that some of his opponents at the Second Party Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Party walked out in protest; this enabled the Bolsheviks to win a vote in which they would otherwise have been in the minority and gave them their name.
By contrast, Maoism - with its strong macho anti-intellectual element - is more in the jock-douche camp. Ditto for Castro (a wannabe professional baseball player!) and Che Guevara (perhaps the ultimate jock communist). Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge took this anti-intellectual power worship to its farthest extent, with their persecution of anyone who even seemed intellectual (to the point of killing anyone who wore glasses). Though Pol Pot himself was definitely more of a creepy nerd type.
This dichotomy reflects deeply rooted Marxist ambivalence about intellectuals. One the one hand, a high degree of intellectualism is necessary to grasp the Marxist view of history and social development. Thus intellectual sophisticates are the true "vanguard" of the working class, as they are the only ones who truly get it and can avoid "false consciousness" (Lenin emphasizes this idea in his famous book "What is to be Done"). On the other hand, Marxist class theory views most intellectuals as essentially bourgeois "class enemies," or at least as tools of the class enemy (Mao and Pol Pot).
