There are definitely some folks that see “National Socialism” as the party name and look no further. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s a strong majority, but they pop up online.
Both Crowder and Shapiro have claimed this. They point out that the Nazi party was the ‘National Socialist German workers’ party’ and claim that’s enough for it to be socialist, and then also claim Russia is a communist country.
It’s always as a “See!! Socialism bad!!” but yep they were literally fascist, Rushia too and yet here we are with people still thinking communist Rushia was communist.
Saying that Facists are Facists is trivializing the holocaust? How’s that work? The fact Nazis were Facists doesn’t trivialize the fact that other groups are also Facists. Facists like to kill people that’s kind of their whole ideology. Fascist ideology leads directly to the kind of ideas the Nazis had.
Soviet Union will eternally be among the greatest nations of all times and humanity will forever be in its debt for the sacrifices of the Red Army in its victorious struggle to defeat Nazism. Soviet Union bled in the millions so that everyone could live. No greater sign of love by a nation has been given.
Incredibly I don’t think that the USSR is “as bad as the Nazis” nor did I say anything like that. Is that why you morons are calling me a Nazi? Do you guys need a paragraph explaining that yes I do think the Nazis are bad?
I’m not trying to win fuckn internet points I’d still be on reddit if I got turned on by that kinda shit. You people are.
Ignoring everything else wrong about your one sentence, a dictatorship needn’t be helmed by a single person. Brazil was a dictatorship from the 60s to the 90s, and had 6 different presidents during that time.
Cuba follows a really similar system to the soviets system and it is probably as close to a democracy as you can get in a capitalist world, so how is it that the USSR was undemocratic? Did the evil russkies implement council democracy but forgot to actually do it??? Just like they implemented the Washington Consensus post-breakdown but forgot to do the American-“democracy”??
Okay, what about the whole soviets and sharing power with trade unions thing? What about their innovations in participatory democracy. The USSR were hyperdemocratic, even on war footing, at least until destalinization happened and the bureaucracy started taking hold.
I don’t think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system. They were literally fascist lol
I’ve seen many idiots do that unfortunately

Oof I feel concerned about those people.
I guess it’s similar to “an” caps.
The Intersection is indeed a very high degree.
It would be funny if there weren’t people suffering and dying because of it
Reminder that there’s a bird called titmouse

Crowder and Shapiro are complete idiots.
Idiots? On the right? Arguing in bad faith? You don’t say…
Correct. They are both idiots who pointed at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system.

Jewish holocaust scholars don’t like it when you call the USSR fascist

That sucks. USSR by definition was a fascist regime so I don’t really care what they want

How do holocaust scholars relate to the USSR being facist or not? Facist ≠ Nazi though fascism leads directly to the kind of ideas the Nazis hold

Okay have fun with the holocaust trivialization I guess.

The soviets sacrificed tens of millions of lives to save you and the rest of the world from the Nazis. Show some fucking respect.

Yeah despite how much I want to fight back I know I’ll just be wasting my energy
No it wasn’t fuck off.
Fascism is when you oppose fascism.
Do you even understand what the words you’re using mean?

The USSR was a dictatorship, but not a fascist dictatorship.
Stalin tried to resign 3 times and wasn’t allowed to. Weird thing for a dictator to not be allowed to do.

Lol I get the feeling that kinda opinion isn’t popular round here

Really? Weird. It’s always really well received at the Nazi bars I visit.
Must just be a coincidence though.
(I don’t actually visit Nazi bars, for the record—not knowingly anyway)
